BobJoann- For some reason the b&w e97s seem to never stay very long in one place. I think collectors may be buying them to flip them as I seem to see the same ones selling over the year. I think they are pretty scarce though as I have only ever seen one Keeler, one Kelly, etc. I own the Carrigan and one other (player escapes me now) and I have only ever seen one other Carrigan and one other of the other player.
I saw where a near set of them was offered in an auction a while back, but they don't come up too often on ebay with the exception of the Austin which the seller had on ebay 5 different times trying to sell it (not sure if reserve was ever hit). That one was once owned by a couple of board members and was reportedly skinned so that cooled a little of the excitement over the card.
