The contestants in these types of shows generally vanish as soon as they are eliminated. Most are just regular people who return to whatever they were doing before their brush with fame. Even on "American Idol", only a few season winners ever got lasting recognition. So it would be up to the hosts or guest stars to initially provide demand for a card product and they would have to sign autograph cards. Then as a card maker, you'd have to know that there were enough fans that want those people and will buy in. Pop Century has regularly seeded autographs cards from reality TV stars in their products and they almost never rise above common filler. The Kardashians are about all there is and that's only for a select group who give a damn. The long-term outlook for such fad celebrities is even worse. It's probably true that there will never be another Trump in our lifetimes, no matter how else you might feel about it. |

"Resident Alien" is in its 3rd season, but I'm on the 3rd episode. Seems pretty good and some of the actors have signed before, most notably star Alan Tudyk and guest Linda Hamilton. Not that cards will follow of course, but the cast is large enough.
I love Resident Alien, and I would be all in on that card set. It would definitely need some Quotable cards. It would be a great autograph list if a release combined all three seasons into one release. |

You think? There are only three real "names" who have starred in the show -- Tudyk, Hamilton, and Terry O'Quinn. Nathan Fillion and George Takei both did voice roles, but were never seen. |
