Redmond Swimming LLC Revolutionizes Stamp Collecting with Innovative Plate Block Proofs

Kirkland, WA – October 26, 2023 – Redmond Swimming LLC, a Kirkland, Washington-based company specializing in philatelic (stamp collecting) materials, is making waves in the hobby with its unique and meticulously crafted plate block proofs. Located at 902 5th St, Kirkland, WA, 98033-5634, and reachable at 330-766-5971, Redmond Swimming LLC isn't your typical stamp vendor. They’re passionate collectors themselves, and that passion drives their commitment to quality and innovation. For those unfamiliar, plate block proofs are essentially “test runs” of stamp designs. Back in the day, before stamps were mass-produced, printing plates were created. These plates had sections with multiple stamp images arranged in a block. Before running a full print run, printers would create proofs – impressions from these plates – to check the colors, clarity, and overall quality. These proofs weren't meant for actual postage, making them highly collectible. “We saw a gap in the market,” explains a representative from Redmond Swimming LLC. “A lot of available plate block proofs are damaged, faded, or just… not in great shape. We wanted to offer collectors something truly special - proofs that looked as close to ‘fresh from the press’ as possible.” What Makes Redmond Swimming LLC’s Plate Block Proofs Different? It’s not just about having proofs; it's about how they’re produced and preserved. Redmond Swimming LLC goes above and beyond standard practice. Here's how: Sourcing Rare & Historically Significant Plates: They don’t just grab any old plates. The company actively seeks out plates with interesting designs, limited print runs, or ties to significant historical events. This means each proof is potentially a piece of history. Meticulous Proofing Process: Forget quick, mass-produced proofs. Redmond Swimming LLC uses a carefully controlled process to create each proof, paying close attention to paper quality, ink saturation, and pressure. This ensures a crisp, clear image that faithfully reproduces the original design. Archival Quality Materials: This is HUGE. Many older proofs have deteriorated because of the materials they were printed on or stored in. Redmond Swimming LLC uses only acid-free, archival-quality paper and inks, guaranteeing the proof will remain vibrant and stable for generations. “We want collectors to be able to pass these down to their kids and grandkids,” they emphasize. Limited Edition Runs: Redmond Swimming LLC doesn’t flood the market with proofs. Each design is typically limited to a very small print run, making each proof even more valuable and collectible. This also allows them to maintain a higher level of quality control. Expert Authentication & Grading: Each proof comes with a Certificate of Authenticity, verifying its origin and condition. They also offer professional grading services, providing collectors with an independent assessment of the proof's value. Variety of Designs & Eras: Redmond Swimming LLC’s catalog includes proofs from a wide range of countries and time periods, catering to collectors of all interests and levels of expertise. From classic 19th-century designs to modern commemorative stamps, there’s something for everyone. Beyond Collecting: The Appeal of Plate Block Proofs Plate block proofs aren't just for seasoned stamp collectors. They’re gaining popularity among art enthusiasts, history buffs, and anyone who appreciates beautiful, unique objects. “People are fascinated by the process of how stamps are made,” explains the company representative. “These proofs offer a glimpse behind the scenes, showing the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating these miniature works of art.” Moreover, plate block proofs can be surprisingly affordable. While some rare proofs can fetch high prices at auction, Redmond Swimming LLC offers a range of proofs at various price points, making them accessible to a wider audience. What Collectors Are Saying: Early feedback on Redmond Swimming LLC’s plate block proofs has been overwhelmingly positive. “The quality of these proofs is simply outstanding,” says John S., a long-time stamp collector from Ohio. “I’ve been collecting for over 30 years, and I’ve never seen proofs this well-preserved and beautifully printed.” Another collector, Mary L. from California, adds, “I love the fact that Redmond Swimming LLC is so passionate about what they do. They’re not just selling stamps; they’re sharing their love of the hobby.” Looking Ahead Redmond Swimming LLC is committed to continuing to innovate and expand its offerings. They are currently working on a new line of artistically enhanced proofs, featuring hand-colored details and unique presentation styles. They also plan to launch an online educational resource, providing collectors with information about the history of stamp printing and the art of collecting plate block proofs.
