Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Fire Fighter and The Edward Francis Cancer Foundation. NOTE: The Fire Fighter plate is a remake of a number from a previous base. Thanks to Richard Than and Noah Foster for the pictures and be sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

Clayton Moore discovered this new high for 1933 Trailer plates. The previous high for this year and type was T2712 so this is a nice improvement. No numbers under 1000 are known for this year and all known plates for this year measure 6" x 12".

Our own John McDevitt spotted this personalized LVHN MedEvac plate on the Visa base, a "first-of" for this site. Considering only one other plate of this type has been spotted so far, I'd call this a pretty great find!

Here is a pair of Person With Disability plates (left from John McDevitt, right from David Hobbs) which narrows down the changeover point from the Visa base to the Let Freedom Ring base. Tracking serial numbers is a significant part of this website and we are always grateful when people can help us get the information as accurate as possible.

Lastly we have this booster plate for the 12th Anniversary SECA Car Show. SECA (State Employee Combined Appeal) hosts an annual car show at the Capitol to raise money for SECA and the charities they support. These and other booster plates are located on the Highs page under the Defunct, Special Event, & Misc. section.

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: American Legion Auxiliary and Bus. Thanks to Bruce Bufalini and James Ruppert for the pictures, keep them coming!

Bruce also sends in this "first-of" picture of a personalized Operation Iraqi Freedom plate. Not pictured: the Lamborghini it was affixed to.

This Fraternal Order of Police plate, spotted on eBay, helps to narrow down the changeover from the format with the embossed "FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE" to the format with the screened "FRATERNAL ORDER OF POLICE." A short run with the embossed legend was produced when this type first switched from the "WWW" base to the "Visa" base.

Here's a new high for the Vertical Motorcycle plate type. It's also a "first-of" shot for the website; a personalized version was observed back in December 2025. As always, 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 what appears to be an ordinary Visa-base Passenger plate, but upon closer inspection it's missing the beveled edges. Click the images to see more detail. Thanks to Brandon Sowers for the find!

Matthew Edwards sends in this picture of the RARE Retired Legislator plate type AND it's a new high. What's better is that the last time this high was updated was in November 2010! Make sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

Here's a "first-of" shot, a numbered Gettysburg 1863 plate, sent in by Jeff Lesher. This is a Special Fund plate, which means that a portion of the sale of this plate goes to a trust fund that benefits the cause for which the plate was made. In this case, $23 from each plate sale goes to help maintain and clean the monuments around Gettsyburg National Military Park.

---

Yours truly captured this shot of a Philadelphia University plate on the "no sticker well" format. This is another "first-of" shot for this website. This school merged with Thomas Jefferson University in 2017 (they have a plate, too!) which means these plates are no longer issued. According to the PennDOT vanity plate checker, 20070 was the final number issued.

Lastly we have this State Representative plate from John Clark with a serial format we didn't have a picture of prior to this. Both State Representative and State Senator plates have traditionally had two serial forms: HR 111 and 111 HR (or PA 111 / 111 PA for State Senator plates), allowing for multiple vehicles to be tagged with a legislative plate. Much is unknown about legislative plates from the 1950s and 1960s, if you have any information to share, please contact us!

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Sons of the American Legion and Blue Star Family. Thanks to Bruce Bufalini and Jeff Lesher for the pictures, keep them coming!

There were a smattering of Snowmobile Dealer stickers listed on eBay recently and this 1981 sticker is a "first-of" for this site! This type is listed on the Defunct Types, Special Event Plates, Etc. section of the Current Plates & Highs page.

Bruce Bufalini sends in this "first-of" shot of a personalized Waynesburg University plate on the new base. This school is located in the southwest corner of the state and has had an active plate program since 2012.

Last but certainly not least we have this pair of sample plates for the U.S. Congress and U.S. Senate plate types. This is the first time either John or Jordan of this site have seen a sample plate for either of these plate types, thanks to John Clark for the pictures!
