AUSTIN, Texas, Nov. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- My Plates, the official vendor for specialty license plates in Texas, is auctioning a limited release of historic license plate numbers as part of their Great Plate Auction. My Plates will be offering eight rare, low-license-plate numbers for sale in the auction that runs through November 17, 2021.

Unlike other everyday Texas license plates, plate messages sold at auction by My Plates are legally transferable. This means the plate owner has the right to pass it on to a family member, or gift to a friend. Transferability also means these plates can be sold, and therefore could make great investments. Any future recipient also gets the same ongoing transfer rights.
Each plate message offered in this auction is for an initial 5-year term and have an opening bid of only $500, with only a few with a reserve above that price. Hence, on most plate messages, an opening bid could be the winning bid for that lot if no other bids are received.
"There are a lot of unique, clever, fun and interesting plate messages available, and through the auction, Texans have an opportunity to secure one," said Steve Farrar.
