PRN Antidotes Unveils Unique mnh Plate Blocks: A Collector's Dream & Potential Investment

PRN Antidotes LLC, based in Box Elder, South Dakota, is a relatively new player in the philatelic world, but quickly establishing itself as a source for truly special and rare items. We're a small, dedicated team passionate about stamps, and specifically, about sourcing and offering collectors pieces that are different - things you won't find every day. We believe in quality, rarity, and providing a straightforward, personal experience for every collector. You can reach us directly at 307-790-9458 – we're always happy to chat stamps! And speaking of different, we're thrilled to announce a new line of meticulously curated mnh plate blocks, now available from our inventory. What are mnh Plate Blocks, and Why All the Fuss? For those newer to stamp collecting, let's break it down. "mnh" stands for “mint never hinged.” That’s collector shorthand for stamps that are in pristine, original condition – never used, and never with hinges attaching them to paper. It’s the highest condition you can get! A “plate block,” then, is a block of stamps that were printed from the same printing plate. Back in the day, stamps weren't printed individually. They were printed in sheets, and the edges of those sheets contained what's called the “plate number” - a little code that identified the plate used to print that sheet. Collectors love plate blocks because they want to see that plate number, and they also provide a fascinating glimpse into the printing process. Think of it like this: if you’re collecting baseball cards, a single card of a famous player is great. But a small sheet with a special printing error? That's a real treasure. Plate blocks are similar – they’re not just stamps, they’re a piece of philatelic history. What Makes PRN Antidotes' mnh Plate Blocks Special? We aren't just throwing any old plate blocks together. We’re hand-selecting blocks that meet very specific criteria: Condition is King: Every block we offer is carefully inspected to ensure it's truly mnh. We're talking bright colors, crisp perforations, full gum (the adhesive on the back), and absolutely no faults. Desirable Varieties: We’re focusing on blocks from countries and periods that are in demand by collectors. We’ve got a particularly strong selection right now of blocks from the 1930s-1960s, including some really eye-catching designs. Plate Number Clarity: We make sure the plate number is clearly visible. A faded or damaged plate number significantly reduces the value, so we only offer blocks where it's easily readable. Rarity: We're actively seeking out blocks that are harder to find – limited edition printings, unusual denominations, or blocks from countries that weren't printed in large quantities. What Can You Do with mnh Plate Blocks? There are several reasons collectors seek out mnh plate blocks: Complete Your Collection: For many collectors, a plate block is the “holy grail” of a particular stamp issue. It's the final piece of the puzzle. Display and Enjoy: Plate blocks are visually appealing and make fantastic displays. A well-presented plate block can be a real conversation starter. Investment Potential: Rare and high-quality mnh plate blocks can appreciate in value over time. While stamp collecting shouldn't be treated solely as an investment, it's nice to know that your hobby could potentially yield a return. The Thrill of the Hunt: For some collectors, the joy is in the search – finding that elusive plate block and adding it to their collection. Current Highlights from Our Inventory (as of late 2023/early 2024): We’ve got a fantastic mix of blocks right now, but a few are really standing out: US 1938 Presidential Series: Blocks of 8 featuring Franklin D. Roosevelt. These are beautifully lithographed and in fantastic condition. They are becoming increasingly desirable, especially in mnh condition. British Commonwealth Issues (1937 Coronation): We've managed to source a few blocks from various colonies, featuring the coronation portrait of King George VI. These are colorful and historically significant. Swedish Blocks (1950s): A series of blocks featuring Swedish wildlife and landscapes. The designs are vibrant and the condition is excellent. German Blocks (1930s): Blocks from the pre-war era, depicting various scenes and historical figures. These are increasingly sought after by collectors specializing in German philately. Canadian Blocks (Various): A selection of blocks representing various Canadian themes like nature and historical figures.
