Rick's Want List
License Plates I'm Seeking for my Collection

Note: Plates shown above are not from my collection - that's why they're on my want list! (1914 Penna. photo by Bernard Volak)

Home

I'm a small-time collector with a limited budget and a modest trading stock, so I'm not in a position to acquire large numbers of the more valuable plates all at once. I'd rather trade than buy, if possible. Please check out my trade box to see if I have anything you can use. My willingness to buy any of these license plates will vary, depending on the price, how much money I have in my license plate budget at the time, and how high of a priority acquiring that particular plate is for me. But if you have something that's on my list, and you don't see any plates in my trade box that you want, try me, I might just be interested in buying.

VG condition or better is prefered, please, for anything from the 1950s to present. I also prefer VG condition for 1940s and older, but will consider less than VG if the plate is displayable and the price is right. Natural expirations are always preferred, and in some cases are required. No vanity plates except Maryland or Pennsylvania, unless specifically indicated otherwise.

Free license plate wanted

I love getting free license plates! Free ones don't have to be listed on my want list, and they don't have to be in any particular condition; I'll gladly take whatever you have. Obviously, totally free plates are the best, but I don't mind paying shipping costs or traveling to pick up free plates, assuming of course that it's worthwhile to do so.

If you have any license plates that you'd like to give away, please send me an e-mail and let me know what you have and where you're located, and I'll see if there's any way to make it work for both of us. (I live and work in Raleigh, North Carolina.)

License plate collections wanted

From time to time I'm asked about whether I buy license plate collections, or even single plates that aren't on my want list below. Depending on the size and quality of the collection, and whether it includes plates I'm looking for, I may or may not be interested in buying all or part of the collection. Likewise, sometimes I might be interested in buying an individual plate that I wasn't specifically looking for.

Even if I'm not in a position to buy your plate or plates myself, I may still be able to help you sell them. Send me an e-mail with some specifics and we'll see. Let me know the approximate number, age, and condition of the plates, and what state(s) they may be mostly from; please also tell me where (city and state) the plates are presently located.

General categories of license plates wanted

God license plates

Real license plates from anywhere that have God's name as part of the plate design. Typically, these have legends such as "God Bless America", "In God We Trust", or "One Nation Under God". I don't want any novelty or booster plates, nor am I looking for personalized or vanity plates for this category at this time; just real, government-issued, sequentially-numbered license plates.

View my God and Church Plates page to see which ones I already have and therefore no longer need. Anything not pictured, I can use.

Church-related license plates

Real license plates from anywhere that are designated as being for church vehicles, members of the clergy, members of a church or a church-affiliated organization, or a church-related special event. When a specific church, organization, or denomination is identifiable, it must be Christian. Also, I don't want any novelty or booster plates, nor am I looking for personalized or vanity plates for this category at this time; just real, government-issued, sequentially-numbered license plates.

View my God and Church Plates page to see which ones I already have and therefore no longer need. Anything not pictured, I can use.

Cardinal license plates

Real, graphic license plates bearing an image of a cardinal (red bird). The plate can be environmental, college, pro sports, or any other type, as long as there's a cardinal on it. I already have examples of many cardinal plates, though. Please, no novelty or booster plates.

View my Cardinal Plates page to see which ones I already have and therefore no longer need. Anything not pictured, I can use.

U.S. state anniversary license plates

Real license plates celebrating the centennial, sesquicentennial, bicentennial, tercentennial, or other anniversary of U.S. statehood, territorial establishment, colonization, etc. Passenger car plates preferred when possible. I actually need states as well as non-state U.S. jurisdictions.

View my State Anniversary Plates page to see which ones I already have. Anything not pictured, or anything in better condition than the one pictured, I can use.

Maryland license plates of all types and ages

Maryland standard-issue passenger car plates. Specific years needed are listed below.

Most other types of Maryland license plates besides standard-issue passenger car plates, regardless of age.

To keep things simple here, if it's a Maryland license plate of any type or age, I'm at least interested. Please contact me with details of what you have - dates on the plate or any tabs or stickers, any legends identifying the plate type, specific registration numbers, plate condition, etc.

Pennsylvania license plates of all types and ages

Pennsylvania standard-issue passenger car plates. Specific years needed are listed below.

Most other types of Pennsylvania license plates besides standard-issue passenger car plates, regardless of age.

To keep things simple here, if it's a Pennsylvania license plate of any type or age, I'm at least interested. Please contact me with details of what you have - dates on the plate or any tabs or stickers, any legends identifying the plate type, specific registration numbers, plate condition, etc.

U.S. passenger car plates dated or expiring in 1959, or expiring in 1960

I've got all the states dated 1959; I still need American Samoa, Canal Zone, Guam, Puerto Rico (dated 1958-59), and U.S. Virgin Islands (both a regular 1959, and a 1957 remade into a 1959). There are also a few states I still need with 1960 expiration dates, and also a few 1959s and 1960s that I'd like to upgrade. Specific jurisidictions I'm looking for are listed below.

U.S. passenger car plates dated 1977, indicating a 1977 registration or expiration, or otherwise issued and/or used during 1977. Standard issue and optional issue Bicentennial plates needed. Also looking for Bicentennial plates only used until or during 1976.

I need many states and most outlying U.S. territories. High quality naturals preferred. Specific jurisdictions I'm still looking for are listed below.

Illinois passenger car license plates

I need most years of these. However, I don't want to buy them in onesies and twosies - the postage will add up too quickly. I'll trade to get them, or will buy them in groups or singly along with something else I want. Specific years needed are listed below.

U.S. Eagle Scout graphic license plates

Eventually, I'll seek all types of Boy Scout license plates; for now I'm just going to focus specifically on real, state-issued Eagle Scout plates. Only a few states make these; I already have North Carolina.

The fine print

Traders: I will trade via mail only with other ALPCA members, with people I know personally, or possibly with other people well-known and respected in the license plate collecting community. You pay to ship yours to me, I'll pay to ship mine to you. Visit my trade box to see if I have anything you can use. If you're going to be in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, or at a license plate swap meet in the mid-Atlantic or southeastern U.S., perhaps we can trade in person and save shipping costs. Please note that I'm really not interested in trading for plates that aren't on my want list. If you don't have any plates that I specifically want, then you're not in a position to offer me a trade. You're welcome to buy what you want instead.

Sellers: My willingness to buy license plates on my want list will vary, depending on the price, how much money I have in my license plate budget at the time, and how high of a priority acquiring that particular plate is for me.

That having been said, I will buy license plates via mail only from other ALPCA members, from people I know personally, through eBay, or possibly from other people well-known and well-respected in the license plate collecting community. I'll pay reasonable shipping/handling charges for plates I buy. If given a choice I would prefer cheap and slow shipping over expensive and fast shipping. Please send descriptions, photos if you have them, and prices, and let me know what the shipping charges will be, payment methods you accept, etc. My zip code is 27615.

I will also buy license plates that are on my want list in person from the above categories of people, and also from other people as well. If you're going to be in the Raleigh, North Carolina area, or at a license plate swap meet in the mid-Atlantic or southeastern U.S., perhaps I can buy in person and save shipping costs. Also, I drive to Baltimore, Maryland on occasion, so if you're near Baltimore, or somewhere between Baltimore and Raleigh, maybe we can arrange to meet.

From time to time I'm asked about whether I buy license plate collections. Depending on the size and quality of the collection, and whether it contains plates I'm looking for, I may or may not be interested in buying all or part of the collection. However, even if I'm not in a position to buy any or all of it myself, I may still be able to help you. Send me an e-mail with some specifics and we'll see. Let me know the approximate number, age, and condition of the plates, and what state(s) they may be mostly from; please also tell me where the plates are presently located.

Donors: I love getting free license plates! Free ones don't have to be on my want list or in any particular condition; I'll gladly take whatever you have. Obviously, totally free plates are the best, but I don't mind paying shipping costs or traveling to pick up free plates, assuming of course that it's worthwhile to do so. For example, it doesn't make any sense for me to reimburse you for the $3 it might cost you to mail me a single plate, or to burn a gallon of gas to pick up a single plate locally, if I don't need it for my own collection and it's only worth $1. But send me an e-mail and let me know what you have and where you're located, and I'll see if there's any way to make it work for both of us. I'm in north Raleigh, North Carolina.
