So, what are commemorative plate blocks, and why is RENEE ATKINSON LLC making a splash with them? Let's break it down. Basically, a plate block is a group of unused postage stamps still attached to a portion of the printing plate they were originally printed from. These aren’t random scraps; they represent the very first sheets run off the printing press for a new stamp issue. That makes them super sought-after by collectors. “We’re really passionate about philately – that’s the fancy word for stamp collecting – and specifically the hunt for these incredible plate blocks,” says Renee Atkinson, founder and owner of RENEE ATKINSON LLC. “It's like finding a piece of the original artwork.
