Price Transparency for Heritage Plate Collectors
PlateIndex is the market intelligence platform that brings data-driven insights to Victorian heritage license plate collecting.
Our Mission
We believe every collector deserves access to the same market intelligence that was previously only available to insiders. By aggregating public auction data and applying rigorous analysis, we're democratizing heritage plate market knowledge.
The Problems We're Solving
Price Opacity
Without historical data, buyers overpay and sellers undersell. PlateIndex brings transparency.
Market Confusion
Is the market up or down? Pattern trends and market analytics answer this definitively.
Research Friction
Hunting across auction sites is tedious. One search gives you everything in seconds.
Valuation Uncertainty
Is 888 worth $50k or $80k? Comparable plates and confidence levels give you the answer.
Information Asymmetry
Dealers know more than collectors. PlateIndex levels the playing field.
