Waiting 5+ years to have her attend the show might have played a role and was anyone marketing to the card collectors that she was going to be there? I would say look at the guys from AdultTradingCardCompany.com (Their domain name cracks me up) as an example and check out their videos they posted on YouTube. They produced the cards for the girls/guys and then marketed the fact that the girls were going to be at the shows and they had/are having success and are growing. They're definitely smaller players in the game, but with no real competition they are taking things by storm. Its a matter of synergy between the collectors in the market and the producers of the product.
