Mexican lobby cards in the 1980s were usually printed on thin, glossy paper. On the plus side, less acidity, so they hold up better; on the minus side, not as appealing as the older, larger, and print-on-thick-card-stock lobbies are. On a side note, I met Robert Lansing while working at B. Dalton Software Etc. on 5th Avenue in New York City. He was looking for a financial software package, I forget which one.
