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.

I think the key to that equation would be to make sure the collectors are able to get the cards BEFORE the show, not during. You might find that more people might even attend these shows only because they have the cards and want to get them signed, not the other way around. I've gone to many a strip club over the years only because I had a card already I wanted signed whereas otherwise I would not have gone at all. I have heard that same thing many times before from others.
Playboy cards are now done exclusively through Stellar Collectibles, I don't think Playboy themselves are involved in the card production process at all.
