Reputable dealers outside of Steiner and MM

I'm a young professional looking to build up a baseball collection.

I obviously want to buy products from people/companies I can trust and. Steiner and MM are the go to places but the markup is much higher. National brand=high prices.

But what are some dealers or stores that can be trusted and help me save a few bucks. Who do you all use and trust that isn't one of the big guys? Particularly in the New York and New Jersey area.

Thanks,

Off the top of my head:

Tristar and UDA (also national brands)

Radtke Sports

Denver Autographs

Jersey Source (on ebay, I believe)

I have two local dealers I really like - Waukesha Sports Cards and Legends of the Field. But they deal primarily with locals stars from the Packers/Brewers/Bucks/ Badgers.

You guys have any thoughts on MLB Alumni Association? In terms of authenticity its probably top notch but price wise what you think?

I don't have a comprehensive knowledge of baseball autographs, but I took a quick look at the Brewers items (Braun, Molitor etc). Looks like the prices are incredibly inflated - by perhaps 2 to 4 times, depending on the item. Absolutely authentic for sure, but overpriced as well.

One name I forgot to mention is Schwartz Sports. They sell on ebay and have auctions as well. Some really cool pieces with the auctions starting at $9.99 (though they almost always end much higher).
