Things I'm having a hard time identifying value on

I have a few things here that either I haven't been able to identify or haven't been able to find an assessment on value on. They're obviously non-mainstream things, since I'm having much difficulty in some cases even finding references to them. Just posting this wondering if I post descriptions of them if someone can identify them / provide some pointers to assess value.
1) I have a Hoyt Wilhelm card. No copyright year on it, but the stats listed are from 1960 so my best guess is this is from 1961. There's no printing on the backside of it. The only unique identifying thing on it is a phrase at the top of it saying "Baseball Star Card No. 80". Any idea what this is?
2) 1987 Fleer Star Stickers. (lot of bigger names in these)
3) 1988 Fleer Baseball's Hottest Stars cards.
4) 1990 Bowman cards (ads on the back for a sweepstakes, but art on the front).
5) 1991 Fleer logo stickers (thinking worthless, but wouldn't hurt to ask).
6) A completed 1990 Donruss jigsaw puzzle (Carl Yaztremski).
7) 1990 Collect-A-Books Series I No. 2 (basically card stock flip books featuring some of the big names of the time).
8) 1987 Kraft Dinner Homeplate Heroes (these came on boxes of Kraft Dinner back then).
9) 1991 Fleer art card (Dwight Gooden). marked "7 of 12".
10) Box package cards (1986 Topps, 1988 Topps, 1991 Fleer). Basically if you got hold of the cardboard boxes that the wrapped cards were sold in, you could claim these cards by cutting them out of the bottom of the box. Some big names in these.
11) I don't remember exactly when these came out (1987/1988), but I have 3 or 4 little metal disks that had baseball players depicted on them about the size of quarters.
12) a 70 HR commemorative gold card (put out by Fleer I believe) of Mark McGwire the year afterwards. I find no references to them so I'm wondering about this one.
This one is off-topic, but I'll ask this, too. I have a small quantity of Desert Storm cards. Any worth in those beyond the nostalgic value of having trading cards with George H.W. Bush and Saddam Hussein on them?

Most have little value.
I'm not sure what the Wilhelm is, but his cards aren't very valuable anyway.
