Here's the first image of a West Shore EMS plate, and was provided by Nick Tsilakis. Posted 9/5.

This very nice image of an Ancient Order of Hibernians plate was courtesy of Nick Tsilakis. Posted 9/5.

Bill Cerevola provides this image of a Reading Buccaneers, Inc. plate. The only earlier image of this plate type was half covered by a frame. Posted 9/5.

This somewhat unique Save Wild Animals - Tiger plate image was provided by Bruce Bufalini. It is presumably a sample plate with the word SAMPLE left out. Posted 9/5.

Jordan Irazabal sent this very low number Type 4 Person with Disability plate. I guess you really have to like plate frames or hate other people to put something on the back of your car with 1-800-BITE-ME. Posted 9/5.

Here's the first image of a California University of Pennsylvania plate. The picture was provided by Nick Tsilakis. Posted 8/29.

Here's a partial image of a 1914 plate showing the aluminum maker's number tag. These were used on tags from 1910 thru 1915 to designate the vehicle manufacturer's number. They were occasionally used on later plates but that's another story. They're not exactly validation stickers, but in a manner of speaking they do validate the plate. Vern Kreckel III provided the image. Posted 8/29.

Here's a new specialty plate — Police Athletic League of Philadelphia. Posted 8/29.

The is the latest update from Correctional Industries after improving the contrast of some of the colors on the East Allen Township Fire Department prototype design. Posted 8/29.

Brendan Sherry has provided this image of Veteran plate 00014^U/_S. This is part of the reserve group of 1 to 99. General issue began at 00100^U/_S. Posted 8/24.

If you look closely, the Person with Disability plate on the far left uses a slightly larger wheelchair symbol and the letters P D are taller. This is not a new discovery, however, after spotting the plate on the far left I have revised the changeover point in the number series. Posted 8/24.

Here's an unusual Save Wild Animals - Tiger vanity plate, especially since PA does not issue vanities on Special Fund Plates, although it's not the first unique special fund plate. There are also Otter plates with 3-dugit numbers, which do not conform to the standard Otter plates. This vanity plate appears to be something possibly made up as a favor, since the plate has no validation sticker and was front-mounted. The image was courtesy of Nick Tsilakis. Posted 8/24.

I've never before seen a Repair Towing plate on a motorcycle. Here's two such plates side by side. They are full size 6' X 12' plates as PA has no such plate specifically for cycles. Click the image for a better view. Posted 8/18.

This is the first image of a Knights of Columbus plate now on the visitPA base with a colorful logo; and was provided by Nick Tsilakis. Posted 8/18.

Nick also sends along this Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc. image. Posted 8/18.

This image shows a new reported high on the Antique Motorcycle series. This plate is more than half way thru the Format 10 series which runs from A0A to Z9Z. When this series is exhausted, the next anticipated series (Format 11) is likely to be 0AA to 9ZZ. Posted 8/15.

Bill Pratt shares these two images of an inversion error '75 Motorcycle plate. The sticker on the near left plate probably indicates how the plate was actually displayed on the bike. Posted 8/15.

Geneva College is giving their plate a fresh facelift (far left) as it switches to the visitPA base. Posted 8/15.

Brendan Sherry provides this first image of a Mount St. Mary's University plate. Posted 8/8.

This is the current high Passenger plate along with the companion temporary registration document. These images were provided by Jerry McCoy. Posted 8/8.
