Andrew Pang's Passenger Plate Trade List





Here is my current list of license plates that I have available for trade or sale. Conditions follow ALPCA standards. I will try to keep this list as current as possible, so please check back if you don't see what you need this time. If you see anything you'd like, please check out my want list (see link below). I'd always prefer to trade if we can work something out! Generally speaking, when I trade, I will try to trade my plates for similar type and value plates. I will not trade a more expensive plate for a bunch of recent passenger plates, even if the value is comparable on paper.

Postage - if we are trading, each party pays own postage. If I am selling, you pay actual postage, either Priority Mail or regular first-class mail. Please check with me for postage costs. Insurance, if you want it, is always extra.

Any trade or sale is not complete until you are 100% satisfied. Please go to my photo pages to make sure you are happy with them. Please e-mail me with any questions, or to hold plates. If I am holding a plate, it will be marked with a "PENDING" label.


NOTE: if you see an "N" after the date, this means the plate has a "natural" sticker - this means that there are no stickers under the year sticker listed.

Finally, if there is an * after a plate, that means that I have more than one for that year and condition.

This list is all passenger plates only. There is a link on my main page to my non-passenger plate and old pairs lists. Now, on to the list...
