Film Poster Cards (German)
A unique promotional item offered in Germany is called a Cinemaplakatkarte, the literal translation meaning Film Poster Card.  Film cards are not on card stock, as are baseball cards. The thickness depends on when each card was printed.  On one side of the 4" x 5 1/2" item is an image of what the German poster looks like. The reverse has information about the film. These cards, first printed in 1987, are unique because a collector can see that the German poster often differs from its American counterpart. Most of the film cards are made as inserts for Cinema Magazine

Lobby Cards (Spanish)
Absolutely authentic cinema SPANISH FIRST RELESE COMPLETE SET of 12 lobby cards in 1978.
