Michael Jackson Commemorative Postage Stamps The stamp collecting world mourns the passing of pop icon and music legend, Michael Jackson. Jackson, 50, died of cardiac arrest at his home in West Los Angeles. Jackson has appeared on the stamps of many countries around the world and was a popular topical subject. In her book, Michael Jackson (1993), author Lisa D. Campbell writes,"In the spring of 1986, the British Virgin Islands announced plans to release postage stamps featuring Michael Jackson. Shortly before their release, in fact after a few hundred sets were already printed, the stamps were canceled due to regulations stating that stamps bearing the likeness of living persons must be members of the the Royal Family, not the Jackson family. Stamps with Michael's likeness were subsequently issued, however by a Caribbean Island, St. Vincent." Michael Jackson Commemorative Postage Stamps

Passport Stamps Of The World A passport stamp is a rubber stamp inked impression received in one's passport upon entering or exiting a country. Passport stamps may also take the form of sticker stamps (which are not very common), such as those received when entering Japan. Depending on your nationality, you may not receive a stamp (unless you specifically request one), such as an EU citizen traveling to another EU country. Most countries issue exit stamps in addition to entry stamps. A few countries only issue entry stamps, including Canada, United States and Barbados[citation needed]. Visas may also take the form of passport stamps. Passport Stamps Of The World
