You bought it: Reader adds to Penny Black collection

As part of our continued conversation with our readers, we like to ask Linn's Stamps News Facebook fans to share stories about the philatelic acquisitions they've made recently.   

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

John Cokeley Foster: "I didn't buy any today because the post offices are closed, but I put four 10¢ Airmails and a 9¢ Airmail on a bill going out tomorrow."

Katie Schlilaty: "Two Frida Kahlo sheets!"

Jack Holloway: "I purchased another Penny Black with my initials (JH) on the bottom. I have a small collection of Penny Blacks, Two Penny Blues, and other early GB with my initials on the bottom."

Dick Olsen: "2015 Greenland issues to date"
