We do not. Would you consider these blank pages, which allow you to arrange the stamps as you wish?

I love this set of stamps for it’s simplistic design and for the engraved portion of the vignette. It is interesting to delve into the history of each person featured in the set and learn what contribution(s) they made to society as a whole. Thanks Don for providing the Discovery Center for the information regarding this set of stamps and so much other helpful and useful information.

Thanks for asking your question Ron. I will download this page (2x) – Mint and used. I have a lot of copies and wondered how I could display them in my US ALBUM.
Is this ok with Mystic?

It escapes me as to why there was NO EXPLANATION as to why the Native American, SEQUOUAH was selected to for this series. The commentary only highlighted the series, but not the series as in the INDIVIDUAL . Pl;ease explain.
