Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Limousine and DeSales University. Thanks to John McDevitt and John Clark for the pictures, keep them coming!

Here is a pair of "first-of" personalized plates, one for the Presque Isle Partnership plate type from Nick Tsilakis and one for the Ridley School District plate type from Matt Ciecka. These sightings further the primary goal of this website: to display pictures and information about every format of every plate type ever issued in Pennsylvania.

Ben Vaughn sends in this new high for Format 1 of the Visa base of the Farm Truck plate type. Because it's a higher number than previously reported, it helps to close the gap between the highest number observed on this base and the lowest number observed on the next base. John McDevitt also has this picture of a new "low" for Format 2 of the same base, which further closes the gap. Thanks Ben and John!

This beautiful 1933 Motorcycle plate comes to us from Worthpoint, a website that archives online auction results from eBay and other auction sites. Numbering for this year went 1-9999 and then A1-Z999, with the observed high being "B486." Another funky thing about Motorcycle plates for this year is that the "33 PA" legend moved from the left side of the plate to the right side somewhere after "A344" and before "B486."

Last up this week is a new high for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy plate type, sent in by Caleb Warnick. This plate was first observed on the "Let Freedom Ring" base back in December 2025.

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: United Bowhunters of PA and Ducks Unlimited. Like the American Legion plate from last week's post, the United Bowhunters of PA plate is unique because the most recent base was the 1999 "WWW" base and never made it to the Visa base. It also comes with a brand new logo design. Thanks to John Clark for the pictures, keep them coming!

Our own John McDevitt shares this 2026 Motor Boat License sticker for a powered boat. John recently did some research regarding the issuance and validity of said stickers and found out two good pieces of information: (1) these have been two-year stickers since at least 1980 and (2) the registration period went from April-May to January-December starting in January 2024. While these are not license plates and this site is about license plates, this "type" started as a license plate in 1931! Click the link to learn more.

Fred Gardner sends in this new high for the Milton Hershey School Alumni Association plate type. This plate type has the distinction of being the first speciality plate type to have the "Let Freedom Ring" as its first base. Be sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

James Ruppert sends in this awesome-looking personalized Pollinator Habitat plate. This is a relatively new plate type and 65% of the proceeds from the sale of these plates go to the Pollinator Habitat Program Fund. Per this PennDOT press release: "The Pollinator Habitat Program Fund is dedicated to supporting ongoing efforts to reinvigorate the populations of insects which pollinate plant life."

Last but not least we have this stunning 1913 Dealer plate from Worthpoint via Ben Vaughn. This is the first picture of a 2-digit Dealer plate from this year, a welcome addition to this site!

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Woman Veteran (motorcycle plate) and American Legion. Both of these plates have something notable about them: the Woman Veteran motorcycle plate is the first picture this site has received across any base for that type, and the American Legion plate is unique because the most recent base was the 1999 "WWW" base and never made it to the Visa base. Thanks to Ian Emmett and Nick Tsilakis for the pictures, keep them coming!

This is the second consecutive week with a "first of" sighting of a recently-released plate type, this time from Fred Gardner for the Middletown Volunteer Fire Department plate type. This plate type was first announced in March 2026 and was first spotted in July 2026.

Next up is a new high for 1936 Trailer plates. Thanks to John Clark for the picture. Click the link to see more information!

Here are some personalized plates recently sent in: one for the Mayflower Descendant type from Bruce Sakson, one for the Woman Veteran type from Ben Vaughn, and one for the Barren Hill Volunteer Fire Company type from Evan John. The second and third plates are "first of" shots for this site as well!

Last up this week is this curiosity spotted for sale on eBay. It appears to be a prototype 1958 Passenger plate. What makes it curious is that the color scheme is opposite to what they would eventually be for that year/base. Also notable is that the tab slot is missing, which early 1958 plates had.

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Korean Defense Service Medal and Eagle Scout. Thanks to Aaron Shirk and Richard Than for the pictures, keep them coming!

A big thank you goes to Nick Tsilakis for this "first of" spot of a New Kingstown Fire Company. This plate type was first announced in July 2023 (!) and was first spotted three years later. Huge find!

This 1923 Dealer plate was spotted on eBay recently. It's the first picture we have of a Dealer plate from this year under 1000. As you can see, there is just a space in between the "X" prefix and the number, yet numbers 1000 and above use a hyphen in the "X1-000" format. Click the link to see more information!

Here we have a pair of new highs for the Vertical Motorcycle and Bronze Star plate types. A personalized Vertical Motorcycle plate has been observed on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base but it appears that PennDOT is still exhausting Visa base plates for this type. Thanks to Aaron Shirk (left) and our own John McDevitt (right) for the pictures. Be sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

Matt Ciecka sends in this cool-looking Holy Family University plate. In a way, it's a number 1 plate, but only because it was personalized to be so; the actual first plate issued is 20001 H/F. But who cares? It looks cool!
