Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Westminster College and Elle's Angels Foundation. Thanks to John Clark for the pictures - keep them coming!

Here's a new high for the Gettysburg 1863 plate type, sent in by Bruce Sakson. Back on March 22, 2026 we posted that this type transitioned to the new base for personalized plates, but PennDOT appears to still have an inventory of numbered plates. It's uncertain how long PennDOT plans to issue WWW and Visa plates still in their inventory before a hard stop to switch to Let Freedom Ring. Be sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

John Kerestes sends in this picture of a personalized International Association of Fire Fighters. This is a "first-of" for this site, plus it's always nice to see a plate with just a few characters on it!

Recently there were two sample plates on eBay for plate types that never made it to production. There are a number of plate types that fit that description, this site currently does not have a section for those types but may in the future. Thanks to John McDevitt and "licenseplatekingcompany" for the pictures.

We are lucky to have an amazing community of PA plate collectors and enthusiasts. One of the byproducts of that is that this site sometimes gets so many submissions that several weeks elapse before we can get around to "your" picture. Here are three recent pictures of PA Sportsman plates. The left picture, from Bruce Sakson, is a new high for the Visa base; the center picture, from Dillon Hornberger, is the first plate observed on the new base; and the right picture, from Mike Laick, is a nice-looking personalized version on the new base. We are very grateful for your submissions, please keep them coming!

Last but not least we have this beautiful pair of Judiciary (Defunct Types, Special Event Plates, Etc. page) plates from Jeff Lesher. This plate type began in 1928 and was issued through 1935. Judges did not get their own plates again until the 1990s. The 123-J format carried over into 1929 but plates issued later that year bore the format shown in the image on the right - click the link to see more.

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: NRA Foundation and Bucknell University. Thanks to Zach Parr and John Clark for the pictures - keep them coming!

Brayden Harnish shares this "first-of" sighting of a Alliance Fire and Rescue Services, Inc. plate. This plate type was first announced on this site back in January 2024 so this is a great score - thanks Brayden!

Last week we featured a pair of State Representative plates from John Anshant, illustrating the two serial formats for legislative plates during this era. This week we have a similar pair of State Senator plates, also from John Anshant. You may be thinking, "But wait a minute, there were only 50 senatorial districts during this era!" It's believed that numbers over 50 were for retired Senators. This is a fairly rare find, thanks John!

Here's a new high for the Teen Driver plate type from Bruce Sakson. As you can see, these are still being issued on the Visa base, probably because a large quantity was produced on that base and the demand has not been as strong as expected. Be sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

Last up this week is a Civil Defense plate for Venango County. The number "61" indicates that it is for Venango County and this county is a "first-of" for this site. Thank you to eBay user "License Plate Deals" for the image.

Thanks goes to John Clark for spotting this "first-of" Woman Veteran plate (left picture)! Days later, Aaron Shirk sent in the picture on the right. This plate type was announced in 2024 when the Visa base was still being issued; two years later we now have two pictures of this plate but no pictures on the Visa base! Keep your eyes peeled!
