Isn’t it funny what a few gold medals can do to your stock, like take a 25 cent trading card and make it worth about $500. Of course this isn’t an ordinary card, it’s a signed 2004 Michael Phelps trading card and just two weeks ago, it could have been yours for only 25 buck. Although if he does go onto to break Mark Spitz’s record of 7 gold medals in one Olympics, the card could escalate to $750 - $1,000. But if that’s too steep for your budget, a non-signed card is selling for about $20. The card, which was part of “Fans of the Game” collection, features a shot of Phelps with the Baltimore skyline behind and pennant of his hometown favs, the Baltimore Ravens.
