First I would like to apologize for making a non Bowman 2010 post I know that is looked down upon in these parts :)

My buddy is making a collection of auto'd baseballs and his range per bal is around $400. He would like to add some great ***** league players to it but is having a hard time deciding who to go with in his price range. I told him Buck Leonard would be a good one and his stuff was cheap but thought I would ask here if anyone had some other suggestions on ***** league players he might want to look into that are in his price range for auto'd baseballs. Thanks for your time and you may all return to your bowman frenzy :)

Thanks this helps alot. His main goal he is doign is he bought a baseball case display in the shape of a baseball field and he is trying to get a top player for each psoition. I think these guys are a great start!

one of the antique stores in town has a few buck o'neil balls for under $100 i think. not sure of the authenticity. if i remember correctly they were even cheaper than that... like maybe $60 or less.

This is a little off topic and might sound crazy but probably one of the best books I've seen on the ***** Leagues is a children's picture book:We Are the Ship by Kadir Nelson. His paintings have this unreal style and smoothness about them. The text is pretty informative as well. Your buddy might find some interesting players to collect while reading this book.
