I suppose this could only work on a model, photographer or program with all rights to that one model. Maybe each program or photographer could actually do this for their content.
The cards could be also be placed into niches, hardcore, glamour, softcore, etc etc.
lol, if the prize was like 100k, then see those wives telling the husbands to go & buy their favourite models cards  |
You kind of lost me on this one, but I think you are getting the gist. Imagine if you spent 10k on digital porn over the last 10 years. You would only have a bunch of digital photos and videos sitting on your computer to show for it, with very little chance to ever recoup your investment. But if you had put that 10k into 8x10 photos, trading cards, autographs, etc. There is a market out there for it. Some might be worth less than you paid, some might be worth considerably more with a lot of things depending. But the point is, the 10k in tangible items retains a value, the digital shit does not.
Back in the day I collected Hustler & Penthouse mags. I have no idea what I spent over the course, but gathered many hundreds of them. I sold the lot for $1000 one day to a collector. Had it been all digital that I had paid for over the course, I would have gotten $0 (although to be fair had I it in digital form, I might have gotten $5 for putting in on a CD for someone)
