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.

Again my point, people do collect autographs, in our experience mostly on 8x10 photos or collectible trading cards. The 3 cards she signed, did she have them or did people bring them with for her to sign?
I bet if she/they offered those cards on some of the more popular web sites she was on they would sell.
I know we get people at our ATC site all the time looking for Playboy cards/autographs. We've never dealt with PB much as a focus, but may in the future if we dont sell the site as the demand is certainly there. What is her site, I bet if she offered autographed trading cards, especially personalized, on her site and keyworded them to appear when people searched for 'adult trading cards' or 'playboy autograph' she would see sales.
