No athlete holds more Olympic gold medals than swimmer Michael Phelps, who won 23 overall and eight alone at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Now an eight-piece oil painting collection (the "Golden Eight") commemorating the 2008 performance is being shopped for $2 million, per TMZ Sports.

Phelps signed all of the pieces, which owner Todd Patkin commissioned in 2008, per TMZ Sports. Renowned artist Brian Fox performed the works.

Per Swimming World, Patkin "is currently accepting offers for the entire collection of eight paintings with an asking price of $250,000 per painting," specifically.
