well , let me agree on that one , those greek posters are quite ugly , and mexican lobbycards most of the time are pretty nice . filip Date: Fri, 17 May 2013 13:05:03 -0700 From: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOPO] FS: List of over 700 Greek movie posters. To: [email protected]
"...Mexican lobby cards are normally B&W stills surrounded by a little artwork..." Actually, the MX LC has one of the highest densities of original art---of all Movie Paper. Photographs, Illustrations, Drawings, Typography, Cast Members, Ballyhoo, et al---all surround the b&w still inset. A cornucopia of original Studio-produced imagery on each card. The letters and words on the MX LC are Latin/Romance based---and evocatively understandable. The Greek paper seems to have a single image, with a great deal of arcane verbiage dominating the presentation. Abundance? Mexico has 10X the population of Greece. ...and a very well respected "Golden Age of Cinema". I would rather not get into yet another pissing contest re MX Paper. Especially with Europeans; and most especially with fine poster dealers from the Netherlands. One of my largest sales ($50k) was to a collector in Amsterdam. Nuff said. It doesn’t do justice to Greek poster to qualify them as (Mexican) lobby cards because they share some similarities with them. Unlike Mexican lobby cards that are so abundant and are normally B&W stills surrounded by a little artwork; Visit the MoPo Mailing List Web Site at www.filmfan.com ___________________________________________________________________ How to UNSUBSCRIBE from the MoPo Mailing List Send a message addressed to: [email protected] In the BODY of your message type: SIGNOFF MOPO-L The author of this message is solely responsible for its content.
