I think they all have to be expired plates.
Did find a bulk dealer website-
http://www.turnerplates.com/Bulk%20Plates%2001.html"Approx 1000-1200 Texas "pull-off" plates. Includes various bases (auto, truck, farm truck, handicapped) in several styles ("Big Red", "Texas Flag", "Lone Star State"), but no currently-issued blue graphics. Plates have various dents, scratches, etc. just as they came off vehicles.
We didn't count all of them, but there are at least 1000 plates, probably more like 1200. Same price either way - we need the room!
Item BP-004: $250 for all -- our largest lot and least expensive price per plate!"
