The large poster from "Opio; La Droga Maldita" occupies a place of honor
in my studio. Beautiful.I LOVE drug posters, the cornier and sleazier,
the better. I have always tumesced to the idea of owning a one sheet
from "Marihuana", but I haven't been able to afford it. Yet.
(I still think the Mexican lobbies look ghetto for the most part, but
there are, of course, exceptions to every rule. For instance, I, a
lifelong liberal, would have sex with Sarah Palin.)

Personally, I couldn't care less for Mexican paper on US or European
movies, but I've always been a HUGE fan of Mexican Wrestling and
Mexican horror cinema.
I don't care if nobody else likes them, but I'll be happy to pay $10
for any vintage poster or mexican lobby set for 50s and 60s Santo,
Blue Demon, The Aztec Mummy, or El Vampiro movies.
I'll even pay more for posters and lobby card sets drug related
Mexican movies like OPIO LA DROGA MALDITA or MARIHUANA EL TABACO NEGRO
DEL DIABLO.
There may never be a big market for these things, but one of my
favorite posters is actually Mexican, and I might go as high as $20 to
buy another one:

Seriously, if you have any vintage Mexican horror, exploitation or
lucha libre posters or complete Mexican lobby sets, and you want to
sell them at reasonable prices, you may want to let me know, I really
like that stuff.
Cheers,
Helmut

cards is the sheer volume of what's in the marketplace.... and
some major titles have proved popular enough for there to be
reproductions over the last few years. So if you happen to like,
say the TC Mexican card for THE DAY THE EARTH STOOD STILL,
selling on eBay for $10, be warned... it easily could be a repro.
