I am no expert on game used stuff, but I don't think you will likely be able to find game used HOF jerseys for under $1k. Perhaps old timers game type stuff or replicas might be good alternatives for display purposes.

Same as for all the other stuff we buy. Lots of stuff on eBay. There are a ton of auction houses out there and game used stuff is peppered into all of them. I know there used to be one that kind of specialized in game used uninforms, but I forget the name right now. Not sure if they are still around. There are dealers that specialize in this stuff as well. Mei-Grey does a lot of jerseys, iirc. I am sure others on the board may have names of other dealers. Certainly the National in AC in July will have plenty on display.

All of the above can make for really nice displays. I have noticed that these items do tend to be less expensive than jerseys for sure. There is also a lot of more recent game used balls, bases, etc that has been released by MLB teams themselves and some of that stuff is reasonably priced and displayable.

I know several people who display items right next to a card and it does look cool. Lots of vintage cards available that are pretty reasonably priced and easy to find.
Your mancave looks great. There is a forum post named "Show your mancave" or similar. You might want to look through it. I found some great display ideas in it for my own cave. Plus it's awesome to see all the incredible stuff out there.
Best,
