Well worth putting your collecting hat back on for those I’d say.

I agree 
Didn’t cost much either so that also made it easier to get back in the saddle.

Just uploaded a batch of Greek posters to our database. I have been unable to pin down which movie this poster is supposed to promote, so I am leaving it here for the time being, perhaps someone else will be able to determine what it is:
It appears to be Anthony Ascott’s, ergo Carnimeo’s project with Garko in the lead, but I haven’t been able to decipher much else from this. The artwork evidently comes from They Call Him Cemetery, but considering that these obscure antediluvian posters would incorporate artworks from other productions quite liberally, it is merely a specious clue and the Greek title for TCHC doesn’t even mention Sartana.

I asked my Greek friend to translate the actors and director, Antony Ascot is correct, the actors are “John Cargo”, “Antonio Vilar” and “Daniela Jordano”

Well, that was quick. 
That certainly helps and narrows it down to Have a Good Funeral, My Friend… Sartana Will Pay, gonna add it to the appropriate picture section.
Thanks again.
Haven’t scrolled the whole thread, so I’m not sure if this has been discussed here already, but has anyone else custom made Spagh posters? Mine arrived today:

Thank you, I find the restoration of movie posters really fascinating. I currently have two posters from my own collection that need restoring. Paper is a living product and ages just like us humans. That’s why it’s important to choose materials that are sustainable and will age in the same way as the paper.
In this example, I don’t quite understand the need for such extensive restoration. There are hardly any tears, discoloration, or misalignments. A before/after comparison would also have been good, because to me, the finished poster looked like a reprinted poster in the end.

Hello everyone,
I recently discovered this topic and I find it super interesting. Some of the members here have real gems in their collections; I envy you and congratulate you all.
In my case, I wouldn’t call myself a “collector,” but I do have several original posters from the Spanish premieres (and a few from re-releases). I’m Spanish, so I like to consider the Spaghetti Western a bit of my “own”, a bit of a part of our cultural heritage (although the Italians deserve the most credit, obviously), hence my “fetish” for acquiring Spanish posters. I also like the “romantic” idea of knowing that these posters were once displayed in a local cinema in some small town in my country (I’m probably a walking cliché, I know).
Anyway, my Leone ones:
From 70’s re-releases:
And the original ones:
Also I want to credit to some of the best Paella Westerns I’ve seen:
And one of my favorites, this poster for the premiere of The Big Gundown, which I haven’t seen anywhere else since:

Hi CarlosCS,
It’s great that you’ve revived this thread and are interested in Spaghetti Western posters. I also find the poster for “Big Gundown” very appealing and unique… it’s beautifully designed by Jean Balonga Cassar. I have it in my collection as well, but you don’t often find it in good condition—I agree with you there.
I find your poster for “A Bullet for the General” very interesting. I haven’t seen this one before.
One Spanish poster from my collection that I find beautifully designed and rare is the one for “Any Gun Can Play” by Jano (Francisco Fernández Zarza).

Very beautiful, I’d never seen this poster before.
Most of my posters are by JANO, my favorite poster artist (and probably the most prolific in Spain).
Glad to know that you also have The Big Gundown poster 
. Balonga Cassar also did the original poster for The Good, the Bad and the Ugly and the other one that I have (the one with de white background) but I suspect this is a bootleg because it’s not signed and it’s undated (there should be a legal deposit notice), but judging by the paper and printing, I’d swear it’s old (if anyone could clear up my doubts about this poster, I would be very grateful).

Oh yes, Jano designed by far the most Spanish spaghetti western posters—there’s no doubt about that.
Well, your poster for *The Good, the Bad and the Ugly* is definitely not from the original release. You’ve already explained why. The credit for the film distributor, “Regia Films Arturo Gonzalez,” in the top right corner is also missing from your copy. I know there’s another poster version from the 1970s re-release. In that one, the small print in the bottom left corner is definitely missing. I can’t say for sure whether Jean Balonga Cassar’s signature and the distributor’s name are also missing. Do the dimensions of your version actually match the standard size in Spain (70x100 cm)?

Yes, 70*100. Luckly I didn’t pay too much for this one. It’s a Little bit weird because the paper quality is pretty similar to other posters of the 60/70s that I have…
