A letter from our President January, 2006 Welcome to the American Plate Number Single Society website. We had a great show in Grand Rapids during August 2005 and we are planning to provide a Society table at the APS show in Chicago in August 2006. During the August 2005 business meeting it was decided that the Society would take over the publication of the Hebert's Standard Catalogue of Plate Number Singles, attend the Chicago 2006 APS show, provide plate number single "giveaway" packets to young collectors at that show, and conduct a membership survey. The survey was included with the December 2005 issue of Plate Numbers, the APNSS newsletter, and the results will be provided in February. Topics in the survey were
A matrix of the questions and the tabulated results will be available to the membership and posted on our website. Please enjoy your experience traveling through our website. Philatelically yours, Eric E. Chaulsett, President

Publisher/Editor, Hebert's Catalog
Publisher/Editor, Webmaster: Rick Burdsall, Illinois APNSS is strictly a nonprofit organization. It has no full-time paid staff. The members and officers who produce Plate Numbers, the Hebert's Catalog, the bimonthly auction, recruit new members and keep the web site updated receive no compensation except the satisfaction of working for a worthwhile cause. Publicity APNSS is always interested in new members. For publicity and recruitment:
Our steadiest and most popular recruitment method is direct referrals of philatelic friends by current APNSS members. To request some blank application forms, or to request a membership packet for yourself or to be sent to a prospective member, write or email the Secretary. Auction One of the significant benefits of APNSS membership is the mail auction. Each issue of Plate Numbers includes a mail auction of 80 - 150 lots of plate number singles, as well as plate blocks and other marginal markings. Prices realized are published in the following issue of Plate Numbers. See the Auction page for more details. 2005 Membership Survey Results A membership survey was included in the final issue of Plate Numbers for 2005. We had an excellent response rate of over 20%. A summary of the results appears on the NewsArchive2006 page. Call for Lost Members We occasionally lose track of a member, most often because a post office box is closed and no forwarding address is given, or the forwarding expires. If you are listed below, or have a new address or email address for a member listed below, please contact the Secretary.
