We talked with the team at PS PDX Partners and they explained their passion: “We're collectors ourselves, so we understand what other collectors want. It’s about the thrill of the hunt, the beauty of the design, and the story behind each stamp. We’re dedicated to providing top-notch quality and service.” So, what are plate block stamps, and why are they so special? For those new to the hobby, plate block stamps are a unique and highly sought-after type of collectible. Back in the day, stamps weren’t printed one-by-one. They were printed in large sheets, called plates. Instead of separating each stamp individually after printing, some blocks of stamps were intentionally left attached. These are plate blocks. “Think of it like a piece of the original printing process,” explains a representative from PS PDX Partners. “It's more than just a stamp; it's a segment of the full sheet, showing the original layout and printing characteristics.” Why are collectors so keen on plate blocks? There are a few key reasons: Rarity: Because not every sheet was saved as a plate block, they are inherently rarer than single stamps. Certain plate blocks, especially those from limited print runs or with errors, can be incredibly valuable. Condition: Plate blocks are generally in better condition than single stamps that may have been used and circulated. The edges are less likely to be damaged, and the color and design are often more vibrant. Printing Characteristics: Plate blocks showcase the subtle nuances of the printing process. Collectors can study the plate numbers, perforations, and ink variations to gain a deeper understanding of how the stamps were made. Aesthetic Appeal: Many collectors simply appreciate the visual impact of a large block of beautifully designed stamps. They make stunning displays and add a touch of elegance to any collection.
