The Cubs used to sell player-worn BP jerseys in one of Wrigley Fields team shops inside the ballpark on a "catch us if you can" basis. The sales boss, however, didn't apparently realize that these were player-used. In one summer, I got "Cuba" front Cubs GU BPs of Sammy Sosa and Ernie Banks (probably from an OTG) for $25 each.
BurlesonBlue...email me when you get a chance. I have a couple of M's items in your range.
The Colorado Rockies held their last Fantasy Camp @ Hi Corbett this year before opening camp at Salt River.
Two former Rockies superstars were on hand - Dante Bichette and Larry Walker - to help coach the campers.
After Fantasy Camp, a buddy of mine from Tucson went to Hi Corbett when they were cleaning out and obtained for me Larry Walkers camp used Nike Pro-Fit Work Out Tee and Shorts and his camp used Rockies hat along with his laundry 'loop' - all marked '33' (the laundry loop says Walker 33).
For me this was a great deal although it was still over 1K. I found a Steve Young 1993 playoff shirt with team letter and nice use on craigslist for 1200$. Another time I found a 1990 Roger Craig away gamer with tons of repairs on eBay for 300$! Not the 25$ Preston paid for his Albert Haynesworth but still a couple great deals for me!
I also purchased a game used 1994 football with team letter which was signed by Jerry Rice for 200$ on eBay! That was a steal as just a signed football is usually more than that!
Always buying 49ers gamers and paying a juicy finders fee!

walking through the line at the national in chicgo in 1999? i found a guy with a 1963 Musial cracked bat it had been repaired so i ask him what he wanted for it and he said 600 as i was pulling out my wallet my heart finaly started beating again and i paid him and went back to our table
A 2001 Danny Bautista World Series gamer for $46. The eBay seller listed it in the wrong category - "Autographs", because she'd included a signed photo in the deal.
A blue nylon manager's field jacket worn by Aurelio Rodriguez while coaching for Chihuahua in the Mexican League for $35. Purchased from a team employee he'd given it to, a couple of weeks before A.R. was killed.
In May I lucked out and purchased 6.5 boxes of unopened 1976-77 topps baseketball cards for 140.00 (20.00 per box). I sold them for quite a bit more than that. The only game used items I picked up with those funds were the 2002 Pudge Rodriguez home jersey I posted earlier and a game used 1985 Reggie Jackson bat. The remainder went to cards and memorabilia to include PSA 5 rookie cards of Aaron and Clemente. Both of those items have been on my want list for longer than I can remember.
