File talk:PA 2011 APPORTIONED.jpg

As a resident of Pennsylvania and a license plate collector, I have to ask, "Is this plate for real?"

It shows a February 2011 sticker on it, and a sticker that far in advance (as of October 2008) can only have been issued to a trailer.

Most Pennsylvania plates can only be renewed for one year, and apportioned plates always expire in May. That plate should be bearing a May 2009 sticker.

Trailers under 10,000# GVW (4,500 kg) are the only vehicles in Pennsylvania that can be registered beyond a one-year period, and then only can be renewed for either the standard one-year period or a five-year period.

Pennsylvania plate stickers can be obtained six months in advance of the old sticker's expiration.

A few months ago, some wise guy added a bunch of photoshopped images of plates that couldn't possibly be real (e.g. incorrect serial formats or dies or other general problems with the design). Most of them were deleted, but others, such as this one, slipped by. Qqqqqq (talk) 06:26, 11 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Also, this plate is about 5000 plates beyond the current licenseplates.cc reported high for the Apportioned plate. See Licenseplates.cc highs page for PA for details. Bill (talk) 07:04, 15 May 2009 (UTC)Reply
