A plate block (PB) is an attached group of stamps from the same sheet that has the printing press block number printed on the margin adjacent to a group of four or more stamps. For most stamps a plate block is a set of 4 stamps in the corner with a number in the margin or selvage. Sometimes a plate block comes from several plates and has a series of numbers in the margin and such a plate block may include 10, 12 or 20 stamps. In the listings, "PB-10" means this plate block consists of 10 stamps.
