In our Regular Singles Simplified pages we attempt to show each face different stamp issue only once. Perforation, booklet format, coil format, gum, color and other varieties having the same face design, are considered equivalent and space is provided for only one example.

The Regular Singles Complete album is intended to show all major stamp varieties issued in sheet and coil formats. To maintain a measure of completeness, booklet stamps are included when they don't exist in sheet or coil form. However, we have a strong conviction that booklet stamps should be collected as unbroken panes. Thus, for the collector who wishes to properly collect booklet stamps, a separate White Ace album is available for full booklet panes.

If production of a stamp is moved to a new printing firm, the process almost certainly involves starting over from conventional art, or re-composing electronic art and typography. The preparation of electronic files for output will likely differ from the process used in the prior printing and will result in an image that is slightly different. Additionally, it may be printed on different paper or have changes in perforation or die cut measurements. Because of these differences, the USPS usually changes the date printed at the bottom edge of the stamp, so the origin of the stamp is unambiguous. 


This is the fifth release of the Navajo Necklace design, and the first time as a coil stamp. As it differs little from the prior versions, it will not be included in the Regular Singles Simplified pages, but will be included in all our other White Ace Regular Issue albums.


In the White Ace Plate Block Albums, a plate block is considered the smallest block (of 4 or more stamps) that can be taken from the margin of the sheet, that contains all stamp designs, and has attached selvage bearing a plate number. If more than one such block can be removed from a sheet and the plate number is adjacent to a different stamp design in any of these, then each such example is shown in our Plate Blocks Complete pages. In our Plate Blocks Simplified pages, any such plate position can be collected. In most cases, there will be two rows or columns of stamps opposite the plate number. (This definition may vary somewhat where there is a particularly attractive header or illustrated selvage or where there is more than one plate number along the same margin of the sheet).


The Herbs sheet stamp has a pane layout similar to Latin Music Legends (2011); Gulf Coast Lighthouses (2009) and Pacific Lighthouses (2007). By our preceding definition of a plate block, this sheet contains 3 different plate blocks of 6 which we will show as we did for these comparable issues.  


For se-tenant coil stamps we have always shown a strip containing two sets of the stamp designs in sequence, with the plate number on the last stamp of the first set of stamps in the sequence. Thus, for the Herbs coil we call for a plate strip of 10 with the plate number on the fifth stamp from the left. This arrangement is consistent with our treatment of several previously issued se-tenant coils (for example,  the 2008 tropical fruit coil, 2008 Flags coil, 2007 Beautiful Blooms coil, 2006 Crops coil, 2004 Eagle coil and the 1999 fruit berries coil).


As Lady Liberty & Flag ATM pane and double-sided convertible booklet panes are booklet stamps, which were preceded in 2010 by identical coil stamps, we do not show any of these in our Regular Singles pages, although they are included in our Regular Issue blocks and plate blocks pages..


Our last Airmail supplements for Singles, Blocks and Plate Blocks were published in 2010, and included the last of these issues through 2009. Only one airmail stamp was issued in 2011, and none in 2010, so we do not have a sufficient number of such issues to release an Air Mail Supplement in 2012.

Only one Distinguished Americans Series stamp was released in 2009, and our last supplement contained all of these issues through 2008. As there are still an  insufficient number of issues to fill a page, no supplement for this specialty will be released in 2011.
