Great story Doug - the entire roller coaster ride of it. So glad that you and the ball are reunited.
A similar story, but much less dramatic, was a missing 1960 Topps Baseball set that my dad and I had put together in the 1980s. After his passing, I had looked up and down his house for it, but could not find it anywhere. Then one day when I was over there cleaning up some things, I found it in the bottom of my sister's closet and let out the same scream that you mentioned. Like running across an old friend.
