Here's a suggestion.

-Make a new user account called 'temp'
-log into the temp account
-copy the ~library/application support/addressbook folder in the temp account 
replacing it's old, but unused, folder
-launch address book in the temp account
-export the addresses you want in vcard format and save in your inbox folder in 
your normal account
-log into your normal account, launch address book, and import the vcard file 
you made earlier. If it finds a duplicate address entry, it will prompt you.

let me know if that works.
