Get Your 2008 Olympics Michael Phelps Items on eBay!

I’ve really enjoyed watching the Olympics this week, and Michael Phelps’ quest for making olympic gold history. As of this writing, there are 370 items on eBay matching the key words “Michael Phelps.” These items range from magazines, photos, t-shirts, license plates, calendars, and autographed items. (Note – some of these items are obviously key word spam – they are Mark Spitz items!)
So this begs the question, should collectors hold on to the Michael Phelps items until after the olympics are over, or offer them now?

Michael Phelps is now officially the most successful athlete in Olympic history. He now owns 11 gold medals after winning two golds today— one in the 200m butterfly, another in the 4×200m freestyle relay.
