or are they just being ignored by collectors
Hah! nothing, repeat nothing is ignored by collectors.
That's why you NEVER throw anything out.
I know a collector who collected a particular slogan cancel
to evidence wearing on the slogan impression molding,
which gave rise to missing detail.
I collect labels as you describe, which can be broken down
into sub headings, the main branches are:
Postal Labels: Accountable Mail
Postal Labels: Air transport
Postal Labels: Express labels
Postal Labels: Maritime Transport
Postal Labels: Specifying Class of mail.
