Default "Black Aces" autographs

Hi, I usually stay on the baseball card side of N54, but I'm hoping someone knowledgeable in 1950s-1970s baseball autographs can give me a quick opinion.

I am hoping to make a framed display of the 12 Black Aces featured in Mudcat Grant's book of the same name (list below). Other than Sam Jones, who died very young, are there any of these autographs that would be considered tough? My first choice is to combine card + cut auto, but I don't want to create a situation where I can only get 10 of 12 autos.

While I'm at it, I'll note my very first choice would be auto on the card from the year the Black Ace joined the club. However, I'm assuming in this case something like a 1959 Topps Sam Jones would be nearly impossible on the moderate budget I'm on.
