Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Virginia Tech (personalized), University of Pittsburgh, and Classic Vehicle. Thanks to Brendan Sherry, Bruce Bufalini, and Aaron Shirk for the pictures - keep them coming!

Aaron Shirk submits a new high for the Farm Truck plate type. This type started at FM2000E on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base. Be sure to visit the "List of All Plates & Current Highs" page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

Nick Tsilakis sends in this personalized Air Medal plate. This type came out in 2023 and only a handful of personalized ones have been observed.

This fantastic picture of a blue base Widener University plate comes from John Clark. Good pictures (or sometimes pictures at all) of blue base special organizaton plates are hard to come by so we always appreciate when something of this quality comes along!

Lastly we have a new high for the Apportioned Bus plate type. As you can see, this is still being issued on the Visa base, and still with a sticker well, to boot! The type started in 1982 on the yellow base and will surely be seen on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base before we know it. There have been reports that this type was also on the blue base (the base between the 1977 yellow base and the 1999 "WWW" base) but no such photos exist.

The Plate of the Week Award goes to Mackenzie Lorenski for this incredible spot of plate #5 spotted in the wild! Even though all-numeric plates are considered vanity plates in Pennsylvania, it's still quite a feat to obtain a one-digit number! Vanity/personalized plates are located in a spearate colum under each plate type page, see the Passenger page for more! Thanks goes to Noah Foster for getting us the picture from Mackenzie.

Here is the latest batch of plate types to be spotted on the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: U.S. Army Veteran, Expeditionary Forces Veteran (personalized), and Pennsylvania Hunting Heritage. Thanks to Zach Taylor, Cam Zynel, and Steve Miller for the pictures - keep them coming!

Here's the first sighting of a Milton Hershey School Alumni Association plate, spotted by Ed Coghill. This plate type was first announced on this site on July 20, 2025 and it's believed to be the first plate type with "Let Freedom Ring" as its first/initial base. Thanks Ed!

Noah Foster sends in this picture of a personalized William Penn Charter School plate, a "first-of" for this site. As we have noted before, you can't always get a perfect picture but it's good to get a picture regardless so it can be documented. Pictured to the right is a cleaner example for reference. Thanks Noah!

Last up this week: we talk a lot about highs but barely talk about lows. Here's the fifth Truck plate issued on the "Let Freedom Ring" base. We have evidence that numbers of special organization plates from older bases have been reprinted on newer bases so it's often difficult to establish and confirm switchover points, hence why we don't talk lows too often. Thanks to John Clark for the picture.

Here is the latest slew of plate types to transition to the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Bethlehem Township Volunteer Fire Company, School Vehicle, and Antique. Thanks to Nick O'Gaitnas, Nick Tsilakis, and Aaron Shirk for the pictures!

Tim Gierschick sends in this picture of the #1 The Colebrookdale Railroad plate. It's always fun to a see a #1 plate in the wild, but what you might not realize is that the current high for this type is only 00002!

This may be the only picture known of a blue-on-yellow Apportioned Bus plate, shot by John Anshant back in the 1980s. At least one person has reported that yellow-on-blue plates were made but no pictures are known. This is one of a few mysteries of the PA plate hobby.

Here's a new high for the Legion of Merit plate type from John Fedorchak. Be sure to visit the Highs page for a list of all current plates and their highs!

Lastly this week is a personalized Antique plate from Ryan Battin. This is not new for this site but certainly a rare sight to behold!

Here are three of the newest plate types to transition to the new "Let Freedom Ring" base: Mercyhurst University, PA State Society Daughters of the American Revolution, and Barren Hill Volunteer Fire Company. These are all new highs as well! Be sure to visit the Highs page for a list of all current plates and their highs! Thanks to John Clark, Julian Marrero, and Joe Kobel for the pictures.

Nick Tsilakis shares this picture of a personalized Ducks Unlimited plate. This is a "first-of" for this site, thanks Nick! A note from your editor: "It's surprising to me that this plate type is not seen more frequently in a state where hunting is such a popular hobby."

Clayton Moore submits this picture of a booster plate for the annual SECA Car Show. "SECA" stands for "State Employee Combined Appeal", which is "the Commonwealth's annual workplace charitable giving campaign." The text on the plate states that the 2025 show is the 11th annual but Clayton informs us that plates for the car show have only been around since 2022.

Here's a new high for a relatively uncommonly-spotted type: PA State Corrections Officers Association. This plate type came out in 2005 which means about 30 plates are issued annually, on average. This one is also a new high! Thanks to Tim Gierschick for the picture.

Last up this week is a new high for an even rarer-to-spot plate type: Arizona State University. This type came out in 2015 which means that about 6 plates are issued annually, on average. Thanks goes to John Clark for the picture.
