Maximum card with Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood . "Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood (October 24, 1830 – May 19, 1917) was an American attorney, politician, educator, and author. She was active in working for women's rights. The press of her day referred to her as a "suffragist," someone who believed in women's suffrage or voting rights. Lockwood overcame many social and personal obstacles related to gender restrictions. After college, she became a teacher and principal, working to equalize pay for women in education.[1] She supported the movement for world peace, and was a proponent of temperance."
"Using her knowledge of the law, she worked to secure woman suffrage, property law reforms, equal pay for equal work, and world peace. Thriving on publicity and partisanship and encouraging other women to pursue legal careers, Lockwood helped to open the legal profession to women."[8][17]
Would it be a good idea to post what is pictured with Scott Numbers and descriptions?

Greetings Mr. ky40601 . Absolutely yes. Half of us do not use Scott numbers, but the other half do. So, in that regard, it is half way useful. However, I am of the belief that images of postage stamps should never be posted without descriptions. (Otherwise, it is just a pretty picture.) . Respectfully,

Jackie, we all collect what we like, and store and display them the way we want. Personally, I like to see the stamps themselves (ie, the images). Most stamps in and of themselves have enough information for me. When I make up my own page, I try to include brief info of what the stamp pictures, date of issue, and Scott number. But that's for me. Sometimes, on my page, I'll do a write-up of interesting (to me) stuff. If an image posted by someone else intrigues me, I pursue further. But that's on me. You should post the way it makes you comfortable and happy.
P.S. I like what you did for the Belva Ann Bennett Lockwood stamp.
Thanks. I don't know if I would have room to post individual bio for each. What I use are guide sheets. Instead of buying individual book pages and separate mounts, I use the savings to buy more stamps. They are all mint and never hinged.
Here's the guide sheet for picture 01.
Thank you, again,
Jackie
Great Americans Series: (1980 – 1995) Page 01
The Great Americans series is a set of definitive stamps issued by the United States Postal Service. The series, noted for its simplicity and elegance. The range of subjects was much broader than the previous Prominent Americans Series or Liberty Issue. The Great Americans series were well-known from a number of diverse fields and ethnicities. Only two presidents were subjects of the series: Thomas Jefferson and Harry Truman. It had an enormous increase in the prominence of women. No fewer than fifteen appear among the Great Americans Series.
Engraved and printed by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Great American Series presents many collecting challenges with perforation, tagging, color, paper type and marginal marking varieties. Most of the stamps listed here are known with tagging break varieties.

Greetings Mr. ky40601 . Bravo! That is a lot of detailed typing . . . but worth it. I am assuming each stamp you have represents each variety, right? I notice that you have seven of the six ten-cent Red Cloud. Is one of them a duplicate? . Thank you for the stamp information. It's great. . Respectfully,
Yes, the guide sheet represents each stamp pictured in the collection. No two are alike. Like the first six Red Cloud stamps, the guide sheet tells you the Scott Number and description for each of the first six. The seventh is a color variation with no Scott Number designated to it. I should have added (v) to the Scott Number to represent that. Glad you caught that.
Great information in this thread, thanks everyone for sharing.

My main collecting interest is the Fire Service (stamps, First Day Covers, postcards and slogans). I also collect Birds, Lighthouses, Civil War, Frogs, Rugby and Mills. My country collections are South Africa, Australia and Rhodesia. It never stops adding on. I would consider myself more of a topical collector.
