Rare Plate Blocks: A Collector's Dream Unveiled by PUR ISSAQUAH LLC
Palo Alto, CA – November 8, 2023 – PUR ISSAQUAH LLC, a rising name in collectible sourcing based in the heart of Silicon Valley, is making waves in the philatelic world with its exceptional collection of rare plate blocks. These aren't your grandma's stamps – we’re talking serious collector’s items, pieces of history, and tangible investments all rolled into one. So, what are plate blocks? Let’s break it down. Back in the day, stamps weren't printed one-by-one. They were printed in large sheets, called plates. Plate blocks are sections of these original printing plates, showing the plate numbers and sometimes even the imprint. Think of it like a limited-edition print, but for stamps. The rarer the stamp, the rarer – and more valuable – the corresponding plate block becomes. And PUR ISSAQUAH LLC is focusing on the really rare stuff. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a representative from PUR ISSAQUAH LLC. “There's a huge demand for high-quality, authenticated rare plate blocks, but it's tough to find a reliable source. We’re dedicated to sourcing these incredible pieces and making them accessible to serious collectors and investors.” What Makes PUR ISSAQUAH's Plate Blocks Special? It’s not just that they have plate blocks, it’s which plate blocks. PUR ISSAQUAH LLC isn’t stocking up on common blocks. They specialize in blocks from limited-run stamps, early printings with unique errors, and issues from historically significant events. Currently, their inventory boasts some seriously impressive finds: Early US Commemoratives: Blocks from the first US commemorative stamps (like the 1893 Columbian Exposition series) are extremely sought after. PUR ISSAQUAH has secured several blocks in exceptional condition, featuring vibrant color and clear plate markings. These aren't just stamps, they're windows into the Gilded Age. Zeppelin Airmail Blocks: Blocks from the legendary Zeppelin airmail stamps are a real treasure. These stamps commemorate the era of glamorous airship travel and are incredibly scarce, especially in complete block form. PUR ISSAQUAH has a limited quantity of blocks from various Zeppelin flights, each a miniature piece of aviation history. Inverted Center Errors: These are the holy grail for many collectors. Stamps with errors, especially inverted centers (where the central design is printed upside down), can fetch astronomical prices. PUR ISSAQUAH currently has a block featuring a minor inverted center variation, authenticated by a leading philatelic expert. Confederate States of America Blocks: For collectors of US history, Confederate plate blocks are exceptionally rare and valuable. PUR ISSAQUAH has managed to source a few blocks from this pivotal era, offering a unique glimpse into a bygone time. British Guiana One-Cent Magenta Plate Block Variation: While not a full block of the famous magenta stamp, PUR ISSAQUAH has a rare plate block variation featuring a portion of the printing plate used to create the one-cent magenta stamp. This is a collector's dream for those interested in this iconic stamp. “We're not just selling stamps; we're selling pieces of history,” says the representative. “Each block tells a story. It represents a moment in time, a technological innovation, or a significant historical event.” Authentication and Condition are Key PUR ISSAQUAH LLC understands that when dealing with rare collectibles, authentication is paramount. Every plate block undergoes rigorous inspection and is authenticated by leading philatelic experts. They provide detailed documentation, including certificates of authenticity and condition reports, giving buyers peace of mind. “We work with the best in the business,” explains the representative. “We want our customers to be confident in their purchases. We’re committed to transparency and providing accurate information.” Condition is also critical. PUR ISSAQUAH focuses on sourcing blocks in the best possible condition, with vibrant color, clear impressions, and minimal damage. They carefully grade each block based on established philatelic standards. More Than Just a Hobby - A Potential Investment While many collect stamps for the love of the hobby, rare plate blocks can also be a sound investment. The value of rare collectibles often appreciates over time, making them a potentially lucrative addition to a diversified portfolio. “We’ve seen significant demand from both seasoned collectors and investors,” says the representative. “People are realizing that rare plate blocks can offer both enjoyment and potential financial returns.” PUR ISSAQUAH LLC: Connecting Collectors with Rare Treasures PUR ISSAQUAH LLC, located at 777 California Ave, Suite 100, Palo Alto, CA, 94304-1199, is dedicated to sourcing and offering the finest rare plate blocks to collectors and investors worldwide.
