Michael Phelps Donruss Autographed Trading Cards

As a result of Phelp's record breaking Olympics, interest in some of his other collectibles have taken off as well.

For example, a limited set of 300 autographed Phelps trading cards produced by Donruss in 2004, are now soaring in value. Watchers say that the card, which could be bought for as little as $25 a few weeks ago, are now trading for over $500.

In fact, on our eBay watch as of this post, one "Fan of the Game" card had passed $800.

Michael Phelps Makes Olympic History

It's official - Michael Phelps has become the winningest Olympic athlete ever as he picked up his eighth gold medal Sunday morning in Beijing, as the Americans took the 400-meter medley relay against an Australian team that did its best to spoil history.

Enroute to history, Phelps set seven world records and one Olympic record in five individual races and three relays, doing a personal best time in every event.

Phelps is quoted as saying "Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination, and that's something I learned and something that helped me."

We salute Michael Phelp's and his incredible achievement.

Michael Phelps 7th Gold Medal

Michael Phelps kept his streak alive last night, as he won his seventh gold medal of the Beijing Olympics and tied Mark Spitz's record in what turned into a thriller in the 100-meter butterfly event.

In a win that sparked a protest, but was upheld after a video review, Phelps edged Serbia's Milorad Cavic by one-hundredth of a second which even he said was "almost too close to see."

After 17 races in nine days, he will end his quest for eight Olympic gold medals tonight in the 4x100-meter medley relay.

Stay tuned...

Two More Gold for Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps continued his astonishing run on the records books today, swimming into history with his fourth and fifth gold medals for the 2008 Olympics, and becoming the winningest Olympic athlete ever with his 10th and 11th career gold medals — and five world records in five events at the Beijing Games.

Michael Phelps: Beneath the Surface

Book Description
Eight medals, including six gold and two bronze. Michael Phelps used the Olympic Games in Athens as his breakout event. Already known in the swimming world for the summer of 2003 when he set seven world records in 41 days, Michael's record-tying medal haul made him a mainstream name. He's well on his way to his ambitious goal of "changing the sport of swimming," but despite Michael's pre-eminence in the pool, his story is not a swimming diary but a tale of adversities overcome and redemption through persistence.

Michael Phelps: Beneath the Surface is a first-person account of Michael's journey to manhood and Olympic glory - from a toddler who was afraid to put his face in the water to a student overcoming an attention deficit disorder to a son dealing with his parents' divorce to a brother who watched an older sister narrowly miss making the Olympic team to the athlete who carried his nation's hopes on his shoulders in Athens, and delivered against such high expectations.
