PS PDX Partners LLC Launches Innovative Plate Block Stamp Collection – A Fresh Take on Philately

Austin, TX – October 26, 2023 – PS PDX Partners LLC, a dynamic and rapidly growing company based in Austin, Texas, is thrilled to announce the launch of its unique collection of plate block stamps. Catering to both seasoned philatelists and those new to the world of stamp collecting, these plate blocks offer a distinctive and collectible twist on a classic hobby. You might be asking, “What is a plate block?” Well, it's kinda neat. Back in the day, when stamps were printed in big sheets, printers used metal plates to get the design onto the paper. To ensure good registration – that the design printed evenly across the whole sheet – they’d leave a margin around the edges. When they cut the sheets up into individual stamps, sometimes they'd leave a block of these margin stamps still attached. That’s a plate block! “We saw a real opportunity to bring something a bit different to the stamp collecting world,” explains a spokesperson for PS PDX Partners LLC. “Everyone’s seen regular stamps, but plate blocks offer more than just the design. They’re like a little piece of printing history. And honestly, they just look cool.” Why Plate Blocks? What's the Buzz? So, why are plate blocks gaining popularity? It's not just about aesthetics, though they are visually appealing. There are a few key reasons. Rarity: Plate blocks aren't mass-produced. They're a byproduct of the printing process. That means fewer exist, especially for older issues. The fewer there are, the more collectible – and potentially valuable – they become. Printing Varieties: Because plate blocks come from the edge of the printing sheet, they sometimes show unique printing flaws or variations – like misperforations, color shifts, or even plate numbers. These “errors” are a huge draw for serious collectors. It’s like finding a hidden gem. Historical Insight: Plate blocks give you a glimpse into the how of stamp production. You can see the gutters (the space between stamps), the plate margins, and sometimes even markings from the printing process. It’s a little window into the past. Investment Potential: While stamp collecting is a hobby, certain plate blocks can increase in value over time, especially if they are rare, have interesting printing variations, or come from historically significant issues.
