Assorted Finds and Autos

Been working hard over the holidays while off work to get my hobby room in shape. I'm getting there, but unopened material is a space hog. Was looking for some old SI's in the basement and came across some other cool stuff that I thought I'd share since I'm not sure how much of it will make the display.
First: What I was looking for...67 Alcindor, 78, 79, 80 Magic SIs.
Second: At the bottom of a cedar keepsake box. I totally remember getting this, and meeting McCovey. Can you believe $1? The year before I had Mays sign my little league glove...the one I played with. Unfortunately it only lasted a few seasons before it was gone. Pretty stoked on the info on back of this too.
Front:
Back:
Third: This ball. The only one I've ever actually managed to get during a game. I came close to running down a few, but this one was different. Giants/Dodgers game. Candlestick Park. Bottom 1st. Ramon Martinez pitched it, Will Clark hit it, and I caught it amongst a sea of hands. Epic. Would love to get both to sign it someday. About 2 minutes later the owner of the seats showed up, and it turns out I was in the wrong seat, other side of aisle. Fortunate mistake.
Fourth: I also came across my ticket collection. A couple cool ones. Last Giants game at Stick. Indy 500. My Laguna Seca Paddock pass with Mario Andretti signature.
Next: Assorted Autos. The visor has McEnroe with a coffee splash, and I think Lynn Swann with a raindrop, but I don't know the 3rd. Also, an 83 San Jose Earthquakes insert, with what I believe is Chris Dangerfield.
And Lastly: some WWF thumb wrestlers. My favorite, JYD and Rowdy Roddy Piper.
