If it's specifically meant to be strips of stamps, one might suppose that 
some internal edges of the polyomino are to be severed so that the graph 
of the result is a path.  This would result in two variants of the square 
tetromino instead of one, but both variants of the T tetromino would be 
removed, so resulting in the count of 8.  Unfortunately, that (which if 
you start with squares rather than rectangles would be A037245 with an 
additional leading term of 1) doesn't agree with all the other figures.  
I get: 1, 2, 3, 8, 16, 44, 106, 294, 762, 2094, 5572, 15200, 40778, 
110626, 297236, 803258, 2156828, 5811502.
