Actually it might even be worse than you say because unless the poster is
being printed off-set, and that is a process where numbers of copies
required decides the economics of the process, they might be getting the
stuff done using the screen printing process which would suggest 48# or at
the best 65#.

By the way, just what are the dimensions of a "Bill Board" because this is
not a size I am familiar with, and for 12 years I ran a repro department in
the uk (pre drum scanner days) that was mostly concerned with the
reproduction of coloured originals for poster work.
