From the post El Tren Expreso at 50 Watts, these are posters advertising Mexican movies from the middle of the 20th Century. It is interesting to see the Latin twist on the familiar graphic style of the era.
There are more below the fold, and of course even more at the 50 Watts site. I wonder if the movies were any good?

Price: $10/card (US$), when the entire lot of 3000 cards is purchased.
I’ve seen several posters from countries like Japan, South Korea and Singapore and I could say that posters from your country are exceptional!
