They are an actual thing. Fanatics love speculating and talking about them and the rich use them as a status symbol in a world where even the average person can buy a Merc.

They auction the latest plates off at Shannons once a month, and they rise in value like real estate. I wish I'd purchased a 3 number enamel a few years ago when they could still be had for under 30k - Nowdays you won't get a 3 number for under $100k, and 4 numbers are up into the 30-80k bracket.

Anything single digit I would imagine that you'd be looking at over a mil these days.
