Why are you so keen on English text. I know it's something that some collectors care about, but I never got it. To me, it's all about design, and foreign titles and credits make it even cooler.
You know, I wish I could pinpoint why English text makes such a big difference. I don't always prefer English text, my rule is usually to only collect a poster from its country or origin. Which is why, for example, I'm not interested in the US 1-Sheet for Spirited Away or the French poster for Perfect Blue. Since it's a Japanese movie, I want the poster from its country or origin.
When it comes to American movies, that same rule
usually applies. I'm not interested in the JP Black Swan posters, for example. But when an international poster has English text, it sort of cheats my country-of-origin rule. That's why AUS and UK posters are just as appealing to me when I'm collecting paper for American movies.
I don't fully understand it either. Maybe I struggle with deeply rooted unconscious racism that has never manifested until I started collecting movie posters. But something about the B1 just doesn't register the same as the A1 or the AUS 1-Sheet.
But you know, if somebody put that B1 in front of me and I found the price reasonable, I might buy it anyway.
