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,

J

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.

Thought so.

Thanks.

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).
