The large poster from "Opio; La Droga Maldita" occupies a place of

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

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,
