We're genuinely passionate about stamps – about the art, the history, and the community around collecting. You can reach us at 701-443-6387 if you want to chat stamps – seriously, we love to! So, What are Plate Blocks? Okay, let's get down to business. Back in the day, when stamps were printed, they weren't printed individually. They were printed in large sheets, like a newspaper. These sheets were divided into “plates” – basically, sections of stamps. When the printing process was finished, a section of stamps, still connected by the original gummed paper, was kept as a record of the printing plate – that's a plate block! Think of it like a snapshot of the printing process. It's not just one stamp; it's a group of stamps, still attached, showing the margins and the plate number. That plate number is key – it tells you which plate was used to print those stamps. Why the Buzz About Plate Blocks Now? You might be wondering, with digital communication dominating our lives, why anyone is getting excited about old stamps. Well, a few things are happening. First, collecting is back. People are looking for hobbies that are tactile, engaging, and offer a break from screen time. Stamp collecting fits that bill perfectly. It's a relaxing, rewarding hobby that you can enjoy solo or with a community. Second, plate blocks are becoming increasingly desirable to collectors. They’re more scarce than single stamps, making them a bit of a treasure to find. Plus, they offer a unique window into the history of printing and postal services. They’re not just stamps; they're mini-artifacts. Third, and this is where Quinault Lacey LLC comes in, there’s a growing appreciation for the art of stamp design. Many vintage stamps are beautifully designed, showcasing intricate artwork and historical imagery. Plate blocks allow you to appreciate that artwork on a larger scale.
