The Winnipeg Jets and the NHL are back in Winnipeg after an absense of 15 years. On December 12, new pay-extra plates became available for a cost of $70 per pair. These plates have sold at an incredible rate, with the entire block of WJ plates being sold out within a matter of hours on the very first day. By the second day, the J01234 series was well underway and within a week the original block of 20000 plates was sold out with the high being in the J09xxx series. An additional 5000 plates were brought in by December 23. I will show a photo of a Jets plates in use a bit later but in the meantime I recommend a Google search to see photos of the plates in the news stories from Dec. 12 and 13.
