Well Noah,now is as good a time as any to point out why you should buy some readily available books and keep track of ebay,various other auctions and get to know a few established collectors in your area.

If you do those things I think you will find that there are about 35 or so plates.I also think that it would take you a loooong time to chase them all and your investment just might approach $10,000 if you go after high grade.

I don't really collect Gulf,got a few,but I do know what happens fast with Texaco LOL.Maybe some Gulf guys will correct me on this one.
