Ok, So, And just like that I'm a USA Plate Block Collector!
I finally had an opportunity for my chance at obtaining a couple plastic tubs of stamp stuff from an estate sale type of scenario. Actually I had inquired of an estate sale posting if they had any stamp collecting items. They did not, but someone else saw my post and contacted me. Her husband had passed away some time ago and no one in the family cared for the stamp stuff. I got it and it turned out to be mainly USA Mint stamps from 1970s up, with some other items included. Some of the other items were Binders of Minkus American Plate Block Albums: Vol III (1951-1960), Vol IV (1961-1970), and Vol V (1971-1977, with supplements taking it up to 1981). There were plenty of plate blocks already in the albums, but plenty of empty spaces too. I'm lucky that the stamps from these years are realatively inexpensive. I don't expect I will expand the year range on this collection to go any earlier or later - just try to fill in what I have. Also included in the tubs were some additional loose MNH USA Plate Blocks. I'm hoping to trade some of these extra plate blocks for the ones I need from 1950s to 1981. I have also acquired some plate blocks in trades that are duplicates or outside my year range that are available.
Please message me if you would like to trade Thanks for looking,
Dave N. Mississippi
Edited 4 July 2019 with updated have/want lists. Edited 3 Sep 2019 to update lists.
Looking for mainly MNH, but will take used as a second choice or for the higher cat value items. I have some duplicate USA plate blocks to trade. Thinking of trading total face value for total face value (in general). I do have some other stuff available for trade if you are not looking for Plate blocks.
Lists are by Scott #
What I have available for trade is listed first, then wants.

Oldtriguy, I know I have a few of these lurking around in stock books. Is your list above still current? |

Updated the lists here. They should be pretty accurate now, but may have an error or two... |

Sending you the following: 1175, 1193, 1196 (This has a bit of damage on the bottom, hopefully you can use it for filler until you get a pristine copy.) 1279, 1363 (has gum damage though) 1408 and 1418B. Hope that helps! |

You are quite welcome. I know there were a couple blocks in there that will likely be filler, but a much better use than sitting in a box! |
