How to collect scraps?

So, how to collect many scraps?
I have about 300, and I do not manage to go further.
Asking Relickers to recertify is luck-based at 50%.
How is it even possible that there are options to turn in 600+ or 3000+ scraps? Has anyone ever done it?

Is it possible? Yes. I got the Breath of the Void from the Shivering Relicker earlier this year, and have been averaging about 300 scraps a month since.
To add to what's already been said: the Bazaar lodgings are the best option, if you can make the Persuasive check. It gives 4 scrap per time, which is nothing to sneeze at.
Also, the Sulky Bat is worth noting as a scrap source. It gives you 3 scraps on a 50% luck check (really a bit under 50%, since there's a rare success that gives a Bat with Attitude instead); with an average of 1.5 scraps it is better and much cheaper than many of the lodgings. Since bats have other uses (and the other option on the card gives a Game favour), it's an important part of this balanced scrap-hoarding.
I've gotten the 680 Scrap items, but not the 3200 Scrap items, because as I was starting to work my way up to those, I got caught up in grinding Making Waves to achieve Paramount Presence. I'm trying to build my stock of Scraps up again, but it's a slow process.
Kudos to Siankan for pointing out the Sulky Bat card; it is a good source for Scraps.

I actually just reached 3200 scraps a few days ago. (And of course none of the relicker cards have turned up since, but that's just the RNG being its lovely self.) It definitely took a long time, though that's with using some up every so often for one reason or another.

Refreshing your deck can help, as it increases the likelihood of drawing cards that gives Certifiable Scraps, especially the Frequent frequency 4-card lodging cards. This helps also with increasing your intake of Favours from the Urchins, and it helps with calling in those Favours for scraps as well.
On the topic of drawing cards, I would recommend drawing them one at a time. So if you were residing in a Lodgings that has 4 cards as your maximum 'hand' size (5-card lodgings exist too), then you'd keep 3 cards in your hand and draw one to fill the empty slot.
Then, play one of the 4 cards you have available, and draw the next card. :-)
The cards in your hand are unique, so you can't draw another copy of a card that is already available to you. This can be very handy for when certain cards are showing up more often than you'd like.
