Updated License Plate Collection

[xScoobyDoo82x]

I cant believe I never watched this video and I did that request for you... looks like quite the collection. Ive recently became a "cheapo" collector by only collecting plates I find in the junkyard, looking back I've spent wayy too much money collecting, so by getting a ton of them for free, it makes it worth collecting again :P

[reggaeambassador3]

How much do you generally spend on plates? Im from the UK and wanna collect but the postage costs here are huge

[indanzs2014]

where do you get all of these

[ipath432]

@indanzs2014 

[rscrisco]

love your vids man!

[ipath432]

Thank you, I have more to upload!

[chimpanzee95]

totally out of curiosity, where the hell do you get all these? i have about 35-40 from about 25 different states (mainly my homestate, PA) but some rare finds like old PA ones, plus an alaska, hawaii, and personalized 1984 olympics california one

[ipath432]

Junk yards, salvage yards, and I'm a member of ALPCA. I've also been collecting for about 3yrs now.

[chimpanzee95]

yeah i got some from this flea market place plus people get them for me and old family ones...

[ipath432]

Yeah, I do that too. In my state, they are very hard to get, as they fine you if the tags aren't turned in.

[chimpanzee95]

that's pretty crazy, which state is that? pennsylvania just tells you to recycle them but they don't care

[04smallmj]

Maryland.

[chimpanzee95]

yeah i heard those are harder to find, but that i have the hardest to find (alaska, hawaii, rhode island, south dakota...)

[ipath432]

South Dakota was hard for you to find?

[chimpanzee95]

it took a while, because i just kinda look and see what i can find, i don't go buying mass quantities on the internet, just kinda pick up whatever wherever... i was going to put a video of the 30 or so hanging in my room up this week, but my battery died, so maybe this weekend, can i post it as a video response to this?

[ipath432]

Oh ok I see. That would be awesome to see a vid.

[chimpanzee95]

i'll try again in a few days...

[ipath432]

OK sounds good!

[gotbad]

Sweet collection and great vids... I can probably send you some plates to add to your collection too!! RR

[ipath432]

Wow! that would be awesome! and thanks! also, thanks for the sub! great vids! I can't stop watching them!

[TreasureHuntCars]

Nice plates man.

[ipath432]

Thanks! I appriciate it (:

[popmomcorn]

where do you get most of your plates besides alpca? in my state they can suspend your licence if the catch you not returning your plates.

[ipath432]

That is the same in my state. I do tend to go to ALOT of salvage yards(pretty fun!) and most will just let you leave with them for free, and I trade with other ALPCA members over the web. I do order them from eBay if I like the deal I see.

[popmomcorn]

thanks!

[ipath432]

No problem. Looks like you are pretty close to a 50 state run!

[popmomcorn]

35/50. i hope to increase that soon

[ipath432]

You're doing great for a begginer! Good luck on getting a D.C. plate!

[popmomcorn]

i think im going for arizona next. in my state, ive only seen a few d.c plates, and most of them were on cars. the southwest states are really where i need

[ipath432]

Wont be hard at all to get any of those. when I started out, I found Vermont to be the hardest.

[popmomcorn]

wyoming was the hardest for me

[ipath432]

Found a Wyoming early on! lol

[popmomcorn]

i was on ebay and over 3 different deals fell apart before i finally one, but it was worth it.

[ipath432]

Cool! try a salvage yard, junk yard, antique stores etc. you can find great plates!

[popmomcorn]

next time i see one, ill stop buy

[ipath432]

It sure is worth it! Iv'e walked away with some great deals! once, got to leave with about 100 different plates from cars in a junk yard for free!

[popmomcorn]

wow.

[ipath432]

I was pretty siked then! I get family now in other states to go to salvage yards and get different plates for me.

[popmomcorn]

i dont have a widespread family and dont vacation often, but there is a salvage yard in my town

[ipath432]

Go to the salvage yard haha!!

[popmomcorn]

if i could i would, but i dont go that way very often. next time i do, i will. one good thing about my state is that all plates since 1959 can still be used

[ipath432]

Cool! yep, most states have the YOM (Year Of Manufacture) law where you can put plates on your vintage vehicle, Plates from 1920's+up can go for big money!

[popmomcorn]

i figured somthing like that was in place. it would seem unlikely that plates on some vintage vehicles are original.

[ipath432]

Oh the plates have to be original to be put on the cars, no fakes! Best vehicle I have seen, was a 1932 Virginia on a real nice restored car!

[popmomcorn]

in the october plates magazine they had some nice motorcycle plates too.

[ipath432]

Yep! so you are a member of ALPCA now?

[popmomcorn]

yeah just a week or so ago i got my stuff

[ipath432]

Congrats! welcome to the club!

[popmomcorn]

thank you!

[ipath432]

Lol you are welcome! you will enjoy the swap meets and being able to trade with other members!

[popmomcorn]

i hope so. this group sounds very prosperous.

[ipath432]

Since joining, I have made over 100 trades!

[popmomcorn]

how long ago did you join?

[ipath432]

almost a year ago

[popmomcorn]

nice. i am on ebay as we speak.

[ipath432]

Awesome!

[04smallmj]

Vermont plates are my favourite. I also really love the Vermont state police plates. I like green!

[ipath432]

Vermont plates are hard to get!

[04smallmj]

Cool, how many plates do you reckon you have in total?

[ipath432]

Probably 700-1k, have tons hanging on my walls now too!

[raconter1]

Nice! I hadn't seen the new Louisiana with the pelican and Mississippi with the lighthouse, or the Texas with the big star! Very cool! :) Jack

[ipath432]

Thanks Jack for the comment (: My favorite plates are actually the MS and LA! Those Texas plates with the star I think are the best design Texas had!

[raconter1]

I'm glad that Louisiana went back to the pelican! It's so in their history! :) Jack

[ipath432]

Thanks for the comment Jack! Yes me too!
