my next batch!
bill, save me - your my hero! =)
there are so many of these that I think I should just do a lot sale, what do you think?
i tried searching eBay for some of the names on them and all of them seem to sell for around 3-5$ each and I have dozens of them. I don't know if any one specific one is going to be worth way more and ill get screwed by not separating them out - but if they are generally all just worth a few bucks I think id rather just do the lot sale and get it over with?

I began to look up what the charity ones were selling for and it just wasn't much so I am hanging onto them for now. they just seem too cool to let go after so many years for so little $$.
as for these 4-up stamps with the code below them, i have a little over 60 blocks of them i think. that is counting the duplicates as i have at least 2 of each 4-up style and in some cases have 4 blocks of the same 4-up style.

Further definition of plate blocks -
"Plate Block: A block of stamps from the corner or side of a pane including the selvage bearing the number(s) of the plate(s) used to print the sheet from which the pane was separated. Some stamp production methods, like booklet production, normally cut off plate numbers. In the United States, plate number blocks are collected normally as blocks of four to 20 stamps, depending on the press used to print the stamps. When each stamp in a pane is a different design, the plate block is usually collected as an entire pane."
