Ahem. If you cruise back a week you'll see I said this plate is worth a $5500 investment. I don't just pull those numbers out of the air, I did this business for 20 years and was good at it. Good stuff just got too hard to find and I got out. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

You were pretty close to the target then. All due credit is given. On another topic, whenever I do a search on license plates these puffy jackets keep coming up. This auction is already at $520 and has five days to go. As someone with thousands of dollars in mountaineering gear, there is no way that jacket is worth $520. You could buy a jacket suitable for an Everest expedition for that. Has anyone else actually seen one on the streets? Not me, but then again, consider where I live. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Speaking of celebrity license plates, there is an auction for the license plate on Tom Brady's car. You can Google the "Tom Brady car accident and see lots of pictures of the wrecked car with the NJ license plate YZX 75Z. Tom sure looked a lot younger just seven years ago. A lot like Matt Damon. source of photo Even though I'm no fan of Brady or the Patriots, somehow I want this license plate. Schadenfreude, I suppose. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

The auction claims to be for the rear plate, but it sure is bent. What happened to the front plate? Are the front or rear worth different amounts? Does New Jersey use registration stickers? |

New Jersey is the only state I can think of offhand that doesn't use registration stickers on the license plates but on the window of the car. So, assuming equal condition, the front and back plates should be worth the same because they would be the same. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Looks more impressive than it is. I lived in NY for years. I remember VA because it is the ugliest thing to have it in the middle of the windshield. The President is a fink. |
