AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- My Plates, the official vendor for specialty license plates in Texas, is auctioning 25 pure "number" license plates as part of their My Plates Number Plate Auction.

These 25 rare Texas plate numbers range from a low of 0001 to a high of 0026. This is the first time My Plates has offered this unique range of four-digit number plates and it could be the last time these messages are available.

Winners of each lot will have the first right of renewal at the state's everyday pricing, which means you can keep the plate for as long as you choose to renew it. Each plate message offered in this auction is for an initial 5-year term and has an opening bid of only $500.

Unlike other Texas license plates, plates sold by My Plates at auction are legally transferable. The plate owner has the right to sell the plate message to another person with the same ongoing rights, or gift it to a family member or friend. As a result, auction plates could be an excellent investment.

"This auction offers a rare opportunity to purchase a pure number plate message that will truly stand out," said Steve Farrar.
