Below are the recent purchases and discoveries our fans told us about on Facebook along with the reasoning behind the buys and finds:

Ron Smith: "Received my order for the past two months' issues from the USPS. The Martin Ramirez issues are pretty cool!"

Chris Baron: "Attended DelPex, so I picked up two airmail line pairs I was missing plus a couple of WashFranks that I hadn't found in the various collections I've acquired."

Allen Rinnemaki: "1943 $1 Canada Scott #262 MNH. $100 value. Got it for $50 at Danepex in Madison, Wisconsin today. Score!!!"

Richard L. Beecher: "I went to a stamp show in Bellingham, Washington on Saturday the 18th. I bought some Machin commercial covers and a U.S. Certificate of Mailing that included the recent 86 cent Puffin stamp."

Stamps and Philately: "Nothing special, only 300 different stamps from the Philippines."

Jack Holloway: "I purchased, on line, from Royal Mail Stamps & Collectibles UK several 175 anniversary items of the Penny Black to be issued in May. They will go well with my real ones."
