I collect US. There used to be a newsletter called the Reply Coupon Collector. Unfortunately I think I threw all mine away except for one copy.

I collect the ones from Israel. Lots of varieties. During the 70's and 80's, they kept changing the values as the cost of a stamp increased, so there are all different combinations of what the original rate was, and how many times it was uprated. They don't cost a lot to buy now, and are something I keep my eyes open for to see if one I am missing comes up for sale.
