Hello,

could you help me ? The context:

Pour les tirages, nous allumions une bougie et posions une photo du XXX sur la table, ce qui ressortait systématiquement était *la carte de la célébrité*, et celle de l'espionnage.

Thanks in advance!

I don't think you would need 'associated with' particularly.

I should think you would be fairly safe to translate it as the 'card of fame'
