America's most expensive license plates have nothing on Delaware

An interesting article in Forbes today talks about how old license plate tags are worth a lot of money. Part of the reason this is the case is because they are old collectibles and like rare coins, it's a matter of supply and demand. A license plate from Alaska in 1921 is estimated to be worth $60,000. Of course, what was the driving population in Alaska in 1921, twenty? Of course, in Delaware it's not the tag that is worth anything but the number itself. And the value of these tags, as anyone in the know knows, is far above $60,000. So which state really has the edge on collectibles as far as license plate memorabilia? The first one, or in Delaware's case, tag #6.
