QUINAULT LACEY LLC Revives a Lost Art with Stunning Plate Block Stamps – A Collector's Dream

Grayslake, IL – October 26, 2023 – In a world increasingly dominated by digital communication, QUINAULT LACEY LLC, a Grayslake, Illinois-based company (located at 142 Hawley St Ste 3A, Grayslake, IL, 60030-3653, and reachable at 701-443-6387), is breathing new life into a classic philatelic pursuit: plate block collecting. They're not just selling stamps; they're offering a tangible connection to history, art, and the intricate process of printing. For those unfamiliar, plate blocks are essentially uncut sheets of postage stamps, showing the entire design as it originally appeared on the printing plate. Think of it like seeing the original artwork used to create thousands of stamps, rather than just the finished product. It's a fascinating peek behind the curtain, a collector's “holy grail” for many. “We noticed a real gap in the market,” explains a spokesperson for QUINAULT LACEY LLC. “Plate blocks are becoming increasingly rare and difficult to find, especially in good condition. We decided to step in and make these beautiful pieces of postal history accessible to a wider audience.” But QUINAULT LACEY LLC isn’t just finding old plate blocks. They are meticulously curating and offering a diverse range, focusing on both historical significance and visual appeal. “We’re not just looking for any plate block. We're searching for ones with compelling stories, unique designs, and, importantly, excellent centering and condition. The quality is what sets us apart.” What Makes Plate Blocks Special? For serious stamp collectors (philatelists), plate blocks aren’t just another item to add to an album. They’re prized for several reasons: Rarity: Because plate blocks are a byproduct of the printing process – pieces left over rather than intentionally produced – they are inherently limited in number. Historical Significance: Each plate block tells a story about the time it was printed, the technology used, and the events surrounding its issuance. They're like miniature historical documents. Printing Variations: Careful examination of plate blocks can reveal subtle printing variations, like color shifts, plate scratches, or errors, which can significantly increase their value. These “printing flaws” are often highly sought after by collectors. Visual Appeal: The full, uncut design of a plate block is simply stunning. It’s a different aesthetic experience than looking at individual stamps. The repetition of the design creates a unique graphic impact. Investment Potential: Like any collectible, plate blocks can appreciate in value over time, especially rare and well-preserved examples.
