Before you read this announcement bear in mind that Adult Industry trading cards are hardly a novel idea. A company called Clubhouse Diamonds put some out years ago. Hustler had cards as well as Playboy among others.
In fact I wrote an editorial in AVN, I think in 1991, suggesting that this would be a nifty promotions vehicle, and I humbly submit the Bill Margold card as a current example of what you could do. What makes trading cards also particularly unique are their presentation of quirky career statistics within the context of a short bio. For instance the back of the Margold card might read something like:
“A former Left Fielder for the Coldwater Cats, Hall of Famer Bill holds the current adult industry record for most mainstream media interviews [746] and gratuitous references to porn performer Viper [9,586] in casual conversation.
During his storied career in the porn entertainment industry, outspoken Bill has also succeeded in pissing off 631 company heads as well as performers, thus making him a formidable presence in any lineup. He continues to root for the Detroit Lions.”
Or something like that.

About Adult Trading Card Company™
JP Berkman started the Adult Trading Card Company™ (ATCC™) in 2010, after seeing talent hit the convention circuit selling 8x10s that were a waste of money for the fans and performers—they cost the performers too much money and once the fan got them home, they would realize (whether married or single) that the 8×10’s would end up in a box in the garage or the trash.
Out of this, ATCC™ was born—it all started with female performers like Lizz Tayler, Tara Lynn Foxx, Sophie Dee, Aurora Snow, Debi Diamond, Mary Carey and many more who were ordering cards from him and selling them at conventions and signings and on their websites.
The trading cards are collectible and are small enough to carry around in your back pocket or wallet. What makes these cards truly unique are the girls’ stats and fun facts on the back—you really get to learn about the girls. In 2011, ATCC™ is branching out into a new market with their retail cards featuring a wide variety of the top names and brightest newcomers that will soon be hitting Adult stores, magazines stands and comic book stores—pretty much everywhere! These are the trading cards your mother warned you about and you will want to be on our team. Soon, Adult Trading Card Company™ cards will be the industry standard and replace 8x10s…forever.
