Ahem. You are not a cat. I kindly ask that you leave me out of this or else I will have to give @SlyPokerDog $50 to ban you.
Are we sure that's how they were issued? The only reason I ask is, I didn't get mine until June 2017; that's nine months after they were released, and my number is even lower than his. They ordered 20,000 of these plates to start, and I doubt less than 70 people switched to them over the first nine months.
Think it just depends on the DMW location. I attempted to get one in LO but my title hadn't transferred from the bank yet so I struck out, it was 11 hundred something. Ended up going to the downtown DMW and that's where I picked up my 900. Where'd you get yours?
Totally got lucky. Some guy was there who had won a contest with the team and got 00077. And there was the team photog there to take pics. I went up for my turn and it was 00071......I looked at the lady and told her I was born in ‘72 and she smiled and just gave me that one instead.
