Grades of Condition (I'd advise contacting us for details on posters rated below VG):
Near Mint (Unused condition.)
Excellent (Clean and bright with little visible wear ... may have a few minor pinholes or tiny nicks.)
Very Good (Slightly more wear, but artwork is fine with no major flaws.)
Good (Still presentable, but a well-used poster with noticeable flaws.)
Fair (Heavy wear and various flaws. May do until a better example comes along.)
Poor (Major problems and countless flaws. May be usable for starting a fire.)
Mexican Poster Sizes and Information (all sizes of Mexican posters are approximate)
Onesheet: 27"x 37" poster printed on very thin paper. Mexican onesheets sometimes come rolled, but because of the fragile quality of the paper on which they're printed, they are quite hard to find in excellent condition.
Window Card: 13"x 20" poster printed on heavier paper. Like U.S. window cards, there is a blank strip along the top of the card, where theater info could be displayed.
Mexican Jumbo Lobby Card: A 12.5"x 16" poster printed on heavy paper, with extensive border artwork, plus an "inset photo," picturing a scene from the film. Mexican lobby cards usually came in sets of 8, but 16 card sets exist on many early films. The border art is the same on all cards of the set, only the inset scene is different. Some companies (particularly Columbia Studios) printed U.S.-sized lobby cards (11" x 14") instead of the standard larger-sized "jumbo" cards.
Giant-sized Lobby Card: 16.5"x 24" poster printed on heavy paper. These were produced in place of standard Mexican lobby cards for some films in the early 1970s. Like most standard lobby cards, they came in sets of 8. The border art is the same on all cards of the set, only the inset scene is different.
Azteca lobby Card: 11"x 14" poster printed on heavy stock paper, with an actual B&W still pasted right on the card. These hard-to-find, unusual posters are produced in the United States to be used in Spanish-language theaters. They came in sets of 8. The border art is the same on all cards of the set, only the attached photo/scene is different.
Unlike U.S. posters, which are basically uniform in size, there is quite a bit of variation in the sizes of Mexican posters. Therefore all sizes listed here are approximate, usually within an inch of the actual size.
Prices for lobby cards may vary within the same title. Higher-priced cards will either be in better condition, or have better "inset scenes" than lower-priced cards. Contact us for a more detailed description of individual cards. Mexican lobby cards represent an economical alternative to larger posters. Unlike U.S. lobby cards, Mexican cards have extensive full-color artwork. Also, Mexican cards are larger than U.S. cards, making them better suited for framing and displaying.
