I've seen it happen time and again with the Benchwarmer girls. The cards are sold and traded all over the place, then when a girl shows up at a show, guys are all over her with their cards to be signed. She gets paid to be on the card to begin with, or just for her photo shoot to begin with, but at the show she makes bank, and they collectors are back on the sites looking for more cards later. Its part of the nature of the beast with trading cards as a collectible in general.
She didn't sell her cards there because the market was not prepped for them to begin with, but the collectors who were brought them with.

She and they had the official Playboy Playmate trading card which was sold by Playboy. Glamourcon is the biggest gathering of Playmates and a golden opportunity for collectors. When several thousand people pass her table and only three have an interest in trading cards it tells me that when the next show comes around it would be worthless to order another 100 trading cards. BTW I'm pretty sure her card is no longer available from Playboy which makes it even more collectable and I believe Playboy has discontinued the cards altogether which also says something about that side of the business and I think Hooters followed the same path.
