NPM buys John Lennon collection

In an incredible waste of taxpayer money, the National Postal Museum recently paid the heft price that Stanley Gibbons was asking for the John Lennon childhood stamp collection mentioned here a couple of months ago. Why couldn’t they just save their pennies and buy a 1c Z grill from Mystic or the NY Public Library? The money, in my opinion, would have been much better spent in forming a more complete US collection.
