Ideas for Man Cave AKA whole Apartment

I've been commissioned by a friend to help build a baseball memorabilia man cave. It's a pretty broad assignment and kinda tough to know where to start.
He is not really looking for signed pictures. He has a lot of signed baseballs.
I suggested a baseball card display case to start.
Teams to focus on: Yankees and Phillies.
I was told to get things that are "cool" and baseball related. Vintage might be preferable.
This guy has money so price is not too much of an issue (no Babe Ruth auto baseballs, that has already been vetoed).

I'm building a 1968 and a 1970 Topps set. I have lots of 1970s and 1960s to offer in trade.

Below are a few photos of my room, which my GF doesn't mind. It's a mix of cards and memorabilia, which seems to be relatively unusual. Most people lean strongly one way or the other. The memorabilia is limited to my favorite people. I made the baseball displays from frames at Aaron Brothers. I made the Tony Gwynn "locker" and made the Michael Schumacher case. I also made the shelves for the individual Topps sets. Send me a PM if you'd like any information on how I made those. I made place cards for several displays to give it a bit of a "museum feel" and so friends can understand what they are looking at if they are interested (and I don't have to bore them by talking about if they aren't).

This would look awesome on a wall. I believe you can buy a computer program that you can scan all the cards in and they will put them in order to make the picture.
T222's PSA 1 or better
Edited to say "both the room picts and the collage"!
