[Zone91]

If someone could please let me know...I know this is subjective and I do not want to stir up the bees nest. I just want to some players that I can research while I am waiting for my book on this series.

It can also be a top 5, 15 or 20 it is up to you.

Can you tell me if cards from those players are possible to locate or mostly impossible and what kind of price range are we talking about with these type of players.

I would lay off the ebay Buy It Now's. The Keefe is a quality card, worth approx. $600, but a lot of the BIN's are vastly overpriced. You'd be better off participating in auctions where you know there is an underbidder.
