HOF Autograph collectors, anyone ever try to build a 1991 Olympic HOF set?

I was sorting through some cards from a recent lot I picked up that had a nice grouping of 1991 Impel US Olympic HOF autographed cards in it. While researching the honorees, I made me wonder if anyone has tried to build a possible complete signed set of them. It's not a very big set, isn't expensive, everyone in it is a HOFer (at least an U.S. Olympic HOFer), and has some impressive names (Jenner, Spitz, Sugar Ray, 1980 Olympic team, etc.). Yet I've seen less people working on that set than I have the 84 Topps Olympic set. Any idea why?

I would not have a guess why but I bet they are cool on card autos to collect if you enjoy olympic athletes.

Maybe all the 80 hockey team cards are hard to determine who should sign them? I seem to recall that '84 had all individuals and had Ali which probably helps. Impel's set was widely available and features the late Herb Brooks which makes it a harder set to start now.

There are harder autographs to get in the set than Brooks. I just thought it was odd that I don't see a lot of them offered.

Hey Sean,
