Congrats on completing the collection, but who is Mr. Quinn? The NHL Commissioner?

this is the original 10. found in grocery stores at the start of the olympics. there is an 11th (brendan shanahan) who was scarcely released for some reason, so he's not exactly apart of the initial set, but he is a first run bobble.
the following set released was after they won the gold medals, which consisted of the entire team (24 players) plus GM Wayne Gretzky, and the very rare Quinn which was an eBay exclusive (only 1500 made).
at any rate, lately the Quinn dolls have been fetching 80US online. and well that's just too much for me to justify.
but then this dude shows up, and he has SIX of them. and well being a poor business man posted them all at the same time, thus driving the price down due to mass availability.
so i scored one for 37$US, and by accident (well for good measure) i had bid on another one (that comes with a Gretzky) and i ended up winning both. so now i have one to sell...
though i never bought the complete second set, i only bought the players that weren't in the first set. (though i have been tempted to buy all of them...)
i'm currently in the lead to pick up a 6pack of the bobbles that include the earlier mentioned Shanahan bobble head that has also eluded me... it's a bargain price for the one alone, never mind the extra 5 included (which is why it's probably being overlooked right now on ebay).
once i win that, i'll have the two hard to find ones, the complete first set, and the rest of the team in the gold medal form... hopefully i never see the day that i order the rest of the gold medal set... though it would look pretty on a shelf. 
in short - i'm working on my olympic hockey bobble head collection.. i also have 3 from the '72 series, a Michael Peca islanders one, and a Jordin Tootoo (canada junior) wheat kings one (the only amateur sports bobble head ever released).. peca is my favorite for some reason. just well painted and looks a lot like him.
