I'd be interested in the same thing for Schlage and for Sargent, but the immediate need is for Best.
I'm not personally aware of anyone selling such a set directly, although you could easily assemble one yourself if you're willing to spend the money. At low volume though, you'd be paying a premium per individual blank...
If this is just a one-off need though (e.g. you just have a core or two you're looking to ID), you could try either taking it to a local locksmith, or if you posted a sufficiently hi-res photo here there's even a chance one of us could tell you which keyway it is (or at least narrow it down to two or three possibilities).
