Plate blocks, also known as plate-number blocks, are a popular item among many collectors of U.S. stamps. They consist of a block of stamps still attached to the white margin of the original sheet, including the serial number of the printing plate used to print that sheet. Plate blocks of stamps printed in a single color usually have one serial number, while those in multiple colors have one serial number per color.
