How do I actually view the actual duplicate address cards identified?

Question

When I hit "card" and then "look for duplicates" I get a result that says "you have 20 duplicates. I then have the option to merge or cancel. How can I actually get a listing of the duplicates so I can decide? Itunes has that feature for duplicate songs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and happy holidays...

Paste this into a Script Editor window and run it; it will list second (and subsequent) occurences of duplicate names; if you decide to delete them, run the script again with the comment removed from the delete APerson line.

click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "Address Book"
set TheLot to {}
set Surplus to {}
set ThePeople to every person
repeat with APerson in ThePeople
if name of APerson is not in TheLot then
set TheLot to TheLot & (name of APerson)
else
set Surplus to Surplus & (name of APerson)
-- delete APerson
end if
end repeat
end tell
Surplus</pre>
