Cool plastics |

In the 80ies this plastic had really cost money. Very faked plate. If it would be a real one, the collectors would be getting hysterical. With the "I", it would be only a 1956/57 one (AR for Arnsberg). Since the early 70ies it has no own plates any more. Such a 1956' "I"-plate from a county, which doesn't exist any more, had made over 300 € at eBay. Fortunately I'd paid for that one in my collection only 2,50 D-Mark (ca.1,25 €). |

And how do you store this collection of plates? I guess that walls of the garage are good only for the amateurs and not for the more serious collectors. |

My collection is on the wall in my private office at home, just behind me. I have sized down by plate-collection. At my first apartment, I had over 200 plates hanging there. Now I've reduced it only on plates of German towns and counties, which don't exist any more since the 70ies. And only plates from Western Germany. A bit of the black post-war ones until 1956, but that's all. All the others I've sold or swapped. In the cellar I've some foreign ones, only plates, where I have personal relations with. for example Canadian and US-plates, which I picked up by myself on junkyards over there. The old plates of the cars, my wife and me had owned in the past, I'll hang in the garage, when it will be renovated next spring. -- Last edit: 2008-12-21 20:55:15 |
