yeah it's best to just wait until a good one comes by at your price range.

you could try to rig something up in the mean time

although this isn't in your price range, I use my audio interface and one of the mics I have that uses an XLR connection. Not super conventional but it works. I guess what I'm saying is that if you get creative you might be able to find something that works using stuff you've already got.

But waiting is probably best.

Why everyone recommends waiting is beyond me. Are you expecting him to just stop playing comp until some mic manufacturer decides to release something for 50$ ?
I think I'm missing something here because I don't see how that makes any sense.

@OP, there is the blue snowflake that is around your price range IIRC. I use a yeti myself and it's amazing so the grandson may be viable. I don't know anything about it though. I heard that the snowball is good a lot though, so if you could step that price up a bit that might be a quality solution. But really, you could also get a metric fuckton of modmics (and by that I mean two modmics) for the same money so that's always worth a try. You have nothing to lose.

You can wait by buying a cheap mic, but I do recommend the Modmic (I'd wait for the v4s at this point though).

There's a refurbished Snowball for $50 on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B006DIA77E/ref=dp_olp_refurbished?ie=UTF8&condition=refurbished

Personally, get a Zalman clip-on (~$10) as a temporary solution and when the modmic v4 comes out pick that up as a permanent solution (~$30).

Since you just sniped me asking about v4 details, the only information we have right now can be found in this blog post:

This a million times. Modmic is great but you won't get one right away. They always seem to be back filling orders. You could get a Zalman for the time being (and keep it as a backup) until your modmic comes in.
