Hello and welcome to a bug's profile.
Don't forget that one rule is to send stamps in *good condition*. No fold, no hole or part missing, no stain, no thinned stamps, no missing tooth, no tear how small it is, etc. Thank you.
Don't forget to put something rigid in your letter as to protect the stamps from being damaged during the trip. Thank you.
As for my preferences:
I don't want self-adhesives or CTO (read https://stampencyclopedia.miraheze.org/wiki/CTO). If you are not sure what I am talking about, you can contact me. ^^
I prefer used stamps over mint stamps as long as the cancel is not philatelic in nature like coming from a first day cover (and of course from CTO, again).
Here is a list of what I would appreciate.
Revenue stamps
Revenue stamps on documents!!! ♥️♥️♥️ (one such document could count as five stamps? contact me and we can come to an agreement depending on what you have)

France, after 2008 (again, no self-adhesives)
British commemoratives, after 1990
Japanese commemoratives
Japanese definitives after 2000 or before 1940
any definitives after 2000 (France not included), even self adhesives
