Being a newbie and not of 'senior' age, I somehow like the colorful newer ones which tell me something about that region/country and visually spectacular... maybe it's just me. Like the couple below:
I like Turkey (especially Ottoman empire - the Duloz and newspaper stamps and overprints are interesting to catalog, to say the least) as well as Germany. The DDR hammer and compass officials are also interesting. However, I just like whatever catches my eye and my interest!
In addition to the countries I identified in an earlier post, I have developed an interest in the British Commonwealth countries from Queen Victoria to King George VI. I find many of the stamp designs of that period to be very attractive and only aspire to get a sampling of the commemoratives and definitives from each country.

How extrordinary! I rejoice in my hobby, and tell everyone, I don't recall ever getting any negativity, except from my son. More often than not, people relate to some time in their life when they had a album of some sort.
I had a friend drop me off a box of stamps today from my bike club, they like the look of rapture when I get more stamps
