I just caught Postmaster James Farley briefly discussing stamps, mostly the Great Americans series, on the radio show Information Please.

The show can be listened to HERE: http://otrrlibrary.org/OTRRLib/Libr...20Farley.mp3

He begins to speak of stamps at the 23:40 mark.

The Great Americans did not come out until the 80's but will give it a listen.

I think you are thinking of the wrong series... this is the one that had Edgar Allen Poe, etc.

EDIT: Aha, FAMOUS Americans!
