… Available Now … Plate Number Block Database: For the past 7 years, we have been compiling a huge US Plate Number database & we have released it with the 2017 EzStamp USA database. It is a constantly evolving database as new plates are discovered & we will update it accordingly. Over 45,000 entries are currently in the database & it has some powerful search capabilities. For most US stamps, simply entering the Plate # visible on your stamps is enough to identify the stamp. Most US plates are unique (except for modern issues where the USPS uses Plate #’s such as S1111, P1111, B1111 etc across multiple issues. This did not occur in the classic issues of US stamps. Either way, the new database will be a great tool for any US Plate Block collector.
