As others have mentioned, finding one is not hard, but finding a specific one is quite difficult. I was only looking for one player (Sullivan) and ended up probably overpaying by a fair amount to get it at auction. Another board member actually contacted me afterwards and basically asked why I bid as high as I did, but when there are only three or four of them out there, you can't always wait around for a fair deal. And, of course, somebody was bidding against me, so apparently someone else was also willing to pay more than what was, at the time, the generally understood market value for it.
