Welcome to Patrick's License Plates Homepage !!!
I collect used U.S. and Canadian license plates ONLY with ABC-123 pattern (or vice versa). In addition, I collect Australian license plates. For me it's important that the plates have been on a car, I don't really care too much for mint, unused plates and not at all for samples. Only a used tag is unique, while samples can be printed a million times. You can also take a look at my search list. In many cases, I collected the plates directly in the junk yards in the United States, see below. I am a proud member of ALPCA (Automobile License Plate Collectors' Association). I was lucky to have the chance to attend an ALPCA regional plate meet in Orlando, Florida.

My son will be a plate collector, too... |
First I got this plate in a junk yard, then I went to Arches National Park in Utah... |
KID and DAD are happy plate collectors! |
You may ask why I only collect U.S. and Canadian plates with ABC-123 pattern. Well... I don't really know. Maybe because the first 20 plates I got from junk yards in Virginia, Arizona and Colorado all had this pattern and I just kept on looking for this combination. And besides: there has to be a limit to every collection, it's not possible to collect "all U.S. plates"...

... and I like the pattern because many plates have a picture in the middle. Just one example: the new Illinois plate (Lincoln's Face) is great if it has three letters and three numbers on it (see an example), but that is not common. The common pattern is 123 4567, so the fourth figure always covers Lincoln's face. |
