I have come into a small stamp horde, where there are twice as many blocks of four, than plate blocks of four. Why do people collect blocks of four, or, six for that matter, without plate numbers, as there are some of those also. The stamps are US, and mainly from the 1940's to early 1950's. And one Canada plate block for variety.

To paraphrase Liberace Stamper49 , If one is good, two or more are wonderful! For my own topical collecting interest of penguins, I like blocks or large multiples as they reflect a penguin rookery in the wild which can consist of 10000s of pairs, Terras Austrais e Antárticas Francesas (TAAF), 2009 - 50th Anniversary of Antarctic Treaty featuring King Penguins (Aptenodytes patagonicus).
I also just like the repetition of image, so whether it be the USA Transporation Plate Number Coils, the Portuguese Ceres and her overseas territory issues or Canadian postage as in this example, Canada, 1946. Peace Issue - 1$ Train Ferry, line perforated 12 x 12.
When one is good, more is wonderful...
Have fun and happy collecting!
P.S. Larger blocks more easily allow one to 'appreciate' the differences between line and comb perforated issues.
