#Airmail 5 cent stamp red series
The prices listed here are for well centered, undamaged stamps. The Famous Americans series is comprised of 35 stamps, issued in 7 groups of 5 stamps each, and printed in sheets of 70. The value of an individual stamp is dependent on its centering and condition. Use these values as a guideline for evaluating the reasonableness of dealer prices, setting up trades with other collectors, and estimating the worth of your collection. To solve the problem, Postmaster General Arthur Summerfield declared all airmail stamps were to be printed in fire red. They are derived from numerous sources such as dealer price lists, advertisements in philatelic publications, and public auction results. However, with the January, 2013 issue of the 1.10 Global Forever Stamp no specific airmail purpose was shown in the design. Designated for international mail, and showing a small airplane, the January, 2012 1.05 Scenic America series issue was designated C150. stamps are provided as a service to Hobbizine readers. Scott cataloged stamps received a 'C' designation for airmail issues beginning in 1940.
