Did you ever think of collecting Disney license plates?
November 16th, 2007 · 1 Comment
I didn't even think of collecting Disney license plates (actually, I have never noticed them in the stores) but it looks like there's some interesting possibilities in that niche.
There are many different designs for the fake Disney license plates - there are character plates and plates that commemorate the various theme parks. By themselves, these Disney license plates are a colorful and durable item to collect and they're certainly easy to display by hanging them on the wall.
However, like collecting other items, you will find some of the plates have various mistakes -- one might have square corners that should be rounded, or you might find a plate with a printing mistake. These imperfect products give you the opportunity to build a unique collection and if the imperfections are rare enough, you might even end-up with something valuable down the road.
So, the next time you're at a Disney theme park, be sure to thumb through the license plates and see if that's something you'd like to collect. They don't take much space and it's certainly not the typical Disney collectible! Also, be sure to look in the auction listings below for Disney license plates you might like to buy right now.
For some examples of the various Disney plates and mistakes, check-out Club 71's Disney License Plates section.
