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

QUINULT LACEY LLC, a Grayslake, Illinois-based company (located at 142 Hawley St Ste 3A, 60030-3653, and reachable at 701-443-6387), is making waves in the philatelic world – that’s stamp collecting, for those who aren’t in the know! They’re not dealing in your grandma's typical stamps, though. They’re specializing in something a little more… special. We’re talking plate block stamps. And trust me, if you’re a serious collector, you're going to want to listen up. So, what are plate blocks? Let's break it down. Back in the day, when stamps were printed, they weren't printed one-by-one. They were printed on large metal plates, kinda like a giant printing block. These plates had rows and columns of stamps on them. When the printing process was done, these plates were broken up. But, sometimes, sections of those plates – blocks of stamps still attached to each other – were saved. Those are plate blocks. And QUINAULT LACEY LLC isn’t just finding any plate blocks. They’re focusing on quality, rarity, and preserving a fascinating piece of printing history. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a company spokesperson. “Lots of stamp collectors focus on individual stamps. But plate blocks? They’re often overlooked. We thought, ‘Let’s change that!’” Why are Plate Blocks a Big Deal? Okay, so they’re blocks of stamps. Why should you care? Well, several reasons! Rarity: Plate blocks are naturally rarer than single stamps. Because not every plate section was saved, and many were damaged over time, finding a good condition plate block is a challenge. The older the stamp, the rarer the block. Printing Variety: Because the printing process wasn't perfect back then (shocking, right?), plate blocks can show fascinating printing varieties. Things like color shifts, constant errors (the same mistake repeating across multiple stamps in the block), and plate scratches. These aren't flaws to collectors, they’re features! They tell a story about how the stamps were made. Plate Numbers: Some plate blocks, especially those from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, include the plate number printed right on the block itself! These are highly sought after. It’s like having a little piece of printing history with a built-in identifier. Visual Appeal: Let’s be honest, a plate block just looks cool. It's a larger, more visually impressive item than a single stamp. It's a statement piece for your collection.
