I brought a Playboy Playmate to Glamourcon ( biggest pin-up convention ) in Chicago and LA. Two days at both events and it was her first appearence so the autograph collectors were all over her. She signed a total of 3 Playmate trading cards and sold zero of the ones she had on hand. She signed about 5 Playboy hard bound books that contained all the Playmates. In the past six years she has been contacted zero times concerning such collectables. She does well selling autographed pictures and a DVD.
Speaking from personal experience there just isn't that much interest or at least in her case and I would imagine it would be less for porn stars for the reasons I made in my first post.
