Patrick's Homepage of License Plates !

Welcome to Patrick's License Plates Homepage !!!

Hi, dear tin friends. My name is Patrick. On July 25, 1988 I found a blue and yellow California license plate on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles. Yes, I picked it up directly from the street, it was a real "road kill", but I loved it from the first second. So the story began... Some time later I visited junk yards in Nevada, Arizona, Colorado and Virginia. All the plates which I owned at that time had the same pattern of letters and numbers: ABC-123 (or vice versa). So I kept on looking for plates with that format, and now

I collect used U.S. license plates, but really ONLY with ABC-123 format.

For me it's important that the plates have been used 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, samples can be printed a million times.

I am a 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.
