Interesting idea..
I tried to imagine my sister's stamp collection and how it would look like if it was grouped like you said..

They do show a lot about the collector and the collection.

I think it is a very cool and inadvertent way of presenting history! I think of the great singers and sportsmen who have been honored! As in the case of Jackie Robinson, he was the first Negro, as it were, to play major league baseball. That stamp would date him to an era before civil rights and it is an incredible accomplishment! sam

This is an interesting concept I think. It needs more explaination for me. I haven't a clue exactly what you are talking about here.
