A regular number for a 1913 Vermont in that condition would be worth about $300. If this were the true first issued license plate in Vermont for that year, I think the value would be about $3,000 to $5,000. However, some states lots of number 1 plates, for the governor to give out as gifts, I assume. You see #1 plates from Delaware on Ebay all the time. Personally, I'm going to stay out of this one.

Stamps too, up until about 1950, when they started issuing stamps just for their collectibility. Real collectibles can only exist if rarity is involved. I once sold a telegraph key from the Civil War for $5000 on Ebay. I had no idea what it was worth, I paid $40 for half a dozen keys at an auction. But the telegraph key collectors of the world let me know it's value, God bless em.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 148 Posts: 25978 | Baseball cards might be the first item specifically made to be collected. They came with cigarette tobacco, it was supposed to encourage you to buy that brand so you could get all the cards. They purposely made very few cards of certain players, which made you buy more tobacco trying to get that one missing card. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

The cops need to be FIRED! No warning, no suspension, F-I-R-E-D! Clearly they do not have enough common sense to be LEOs. Couple does not at all fit the profile of car thieves. So he should start by not pulling guns but pulling him over. Then ask what seems wrong here. That it came to this so fast means the cops involved maybe can find jobs as graveyard security at Circus Circus. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength |
