Rare Stamp Errors Fetch Big Bucks: RCC MGP LLC Unveils Exclusive Plate Block Error Collection

TUSTIN, CA – October 26, 2023 – For stamp collectors, the thrill isn’t just about completing a set, it’s about finding the unique. And recently, that uniqueness is manifesting in a surge of interest – and high prices – for plate block errors. RCC MGP LLC, a leading specialist in philatelic rarities located in Tustin, California, is at the forefront of this trend, offering an exceptional collection of these highly sought-after errors. So, what are plate block errors? Back in the day, stamps weren’t printed individually. They were printed in large sheets, called plates. These plates were divided into blocks before being shipped out. Sometimes, during the process, things went a little… wonky. Maybe a key part of the design got messed up on one or more of the stamps within a block. That's a plate block error. “Think of it like a misprint, but on a bigger scale,” explains the team at RCC MGP LLC. “Instead of just one stamp being messed up, it’s a whole block. And because it’s a manufacturing mistake, it’s genuinely rare.” RCC MGP LLC, a company dedicated to sourcing and authenticating exceptional philatelic items, has spent years building its collection of plate block errors. Operating from their facility at 14131 Yorba St, Tustin, CA, 92780-2052, they cater to both seasoned collectors and newcomers looking to invest in truly unique pieces. You can reach them at 812-824-9225. Why the Buzz? The rising popularity of plate block errors isn’t just about rarity. It's a combination of factors. Scarcity: These errors happened accidentally. The printing process was quickly corrected once noticed, meaning very few of these blocks ever made it into circulation. Historical Significance: Plate block errors offer a fascinating glimpse into the history of printing and postal services. They’re tangible reminders of a time when everything wasn't digitally perfect. Investment Potential: Rare stamps, in general, are considered a stable investment. Plate block errors, due to their scarcity and increasing demand, are showing significant appreciation in value. Visual Appeal: Many plate block errors are just plain cool! The distorted or incomplete designs can be striking and visually interesting. What's Available from RCC MGP LLC? RCC MGP LLC’s current inventory boasts a diverse range of plate block errors, spanning different countries, denominations, and types of errors. Here’s a sneak peek at what collectors can expect: Constant Varieties: These errors involve a consistent flaw across multiple stamps in a block, like a missing color or a persistent printing defect. RCC MGP LLC has several blocks showcasing beautifully consistent errors. Missing Colors: Imagine a stamp block where a key color is completely absent! These blocks are highly sought after because they dramatically alter the appearance of the stamp. They've got some beauties. Inverted Centers: This is a classic error! It happens when the central design of the stamp is printed upside down within the block. A prime example in their collection is a block of early US commemoratives with an inverted portrait. Tilted or Offset Designs: Sometimes the design within the block isn’t aligned correctly, resulting in a tilted or offset image. These add an unusual element to the collector's display. Double Impressions: Where the design is printed twice, often resulting in a blurry or layered effect. These are quite popular with collectors. “We’re not just selling stamps,” says a spokesperson for RCC MGP LLC. “We’re offering pieces of history. Each plate block error has a story to tell.” Authenticity is Key The market for rare stamps is, unfortunately, prone to forgeries. That's why authenticity is paramount at RCC MGP LLC.
