Can't wait to get some, maybe a first day cover. I admired her very much.

I think it is great that RBG has been so honored.

 

Although I think it is a bit puzzling (not really!) that the first woman supreme court justice- Sandra Day O'Connor,  has never been honored by the U.S. Postal Service.

@781Florist  Maybe because she is 93 and alive? "most" stamps are given posthumously.
