Delaware license plate auctioned for $410,000 | Fox News

Low-numbered Delaware license plates are in demand.

Someone paid $410,000 for the plate bearing the number 20 when it went up for auction Sunday at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center.

John Wakefield, of Delaware Tag Traders, tells the Delaware News Journal the price exceeded expectations. He says it surpassed $325,000 spent on a number 14 license plate three years ago.

Wakefield says a number like 20 "generates quite a stir and a buzz."

Wakefield likens the license plate auction to baseball cards. He says "it's a Delaware thing."
 

Dawg Gone. This makes me wish I had a Delaware License press.
 

I have a 1920 Wisconsin tag!
 

These old B&W plates are still used and are usually kept in the family/ passed down etc... You'll see them still in use on cars. It's a Delaware status symbol to have one on your car. The lower the number the higher the status. Think Dupont family etc... That's why they very rarely come up for auction and go so high. Husband is from DE and told me this years ago.
 

Insane. Wonder why?
 

Holy smokes what a waste of money
