I was thinking the same thing while in the PO last week.
My prediction is that it will be a series to milk it for as much as possible.
My greatest Halloween costume idea to date was a few years ago where me and 5 friends dressed up as the "Eras of Michael Jackson". We were all wearing different themed MJ outfits. Beat It and Smooth Criminal were the two money shots. Crazy masked MJ sucked.
I think the stamp series will be similar but they will leave off the masked and whitest stage.

A day after posting a YouTube video blasting Michael Jackson as a "lowlife," Congressman Peter King said he opposes any move to honor the King of Pop's legacy on a postage stamp.
King, a New York Republican, criticized calls by the Rev. Al Sharpton to have the U.S. Postal Service issue a Michael Jackson stamp in an interview Tuesday with WPIX News. Sharpton is also pushing for a national day of mourning to honor the pop star.
"It's almost as if he were Mother Theresa," King told the station. "Our priorities have been skewed. They've become really, I think, totally out of whack."
"I tapped into something that many people have been thinking about but were afraid to say," King said in explaining his decision to make his views known in a YouTube video. "I think that those of us in public life have an obligation to try and stop something when we have something that is going so far in the wrong direction."
Meanwhile, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, D-Texas, has ignited a fierce debate by calling on Congress to recognize Jackson as a "global humanitarian and a noted leader in the fight against worldwide hunger and medical crises" and celebrate the King of Pop as "an accomplished contributor to the worlds of arts and entertainment, scientific advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and global food security."
The resolution, which was referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee on the day after Jackson's death June 25, lists the singer's accomplishments as a musical icon in detail, including his record-breaking album sales and two-time induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
The resolution also cites Jackson's "humanitarian" work, including his 1984 visit to a burn unit at a Los Angeles hospital and his decision to grant a dying 14-year-old's request to visit his home.

Jackson Lee took the stage Tuesday at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and hoisted a framed copy of the resolution, embossed with a gold seal.
Without mentioning King by name, Jackson Lee noted that Jackson was acquitted of child molestation charges. She blasted critics who "don't understand the hearts of entertainers" and "don't know how they heal the world on behalf of America."
"We understand the Constitution. We understand laws and we know people are innocent until proven otherwise. That is what the Constitution stands for," she said, clutching the framed resolution in front of her shiny white suit.
But Jackson Lee has herself been the subject of controversy regarding her speaking engagements at funerals.
The Texas Democrat reportedly asked aides to "cull the obituaries" for funerals at which the Texas Democrat could speak, according to a 2008 report in the Houston Chronicle.
"One told friends of taking her to five funerals in one day, and of hating to have to ask the families if they would allow her to speak," Houston Chronicle reporter Rick Casey wrote. "The request pleased some, he said, but angered others."
Jackson Lee said she paid tribute to Jackson on behalf of Congress, and said she was asked by Jackson's brother Jermaine to speak at the memorial service, according to Roll Call.

I think of these things while I am feeding the baby his bottle, with all the news coverage you would have thought he was a former or current President

So looking at your baby makes you think of Michael Jackson?
That drips with irony.
