Notwithstanding the wrong info and brazen USPS logo as txstamp said, I feel like use of the word "pcs" to describe stamps should be a clue to anyone familiar with postage? Does anyone actually call individual stamps "pieces"?
I agree with you WheatCent, but some people don't have a clue.
My guess is that "pieces" is a literal translation of something in Chinese. While I don't know Chinese, I do know the Thai language and nouns in Thai have what is called a classifier word that accompanies it when talking about amounts of something. So in Thai you would have "Stamp" + "3" + (classifing term) = "3 stamps." Such a construction often gets literally translated as "Stamps 3 pieces."
