I did not find much at The National, which is what I expect due to my collecting focus. I spent a total of $15 on 4 signed index cards and two signed picture postcards of Olympians. Other than that I paid to have these signed by Spencer Haywood. Even though Tristar tried to nickel and dime you with inscriptions he added these on his own.:

Two tickets from the gold medal game at the 1968 Olympics.

Postal souvenir sheet from Ajman, a small Arabic emirate. Haywood is second from the left.

The year after the Olympics while still a student at Detroit Mercy.

During the Olympics. The other two Americans are Calvin Fowler #11 and Michael Silliman #12.

He had never seen the souvenir sheet before. I offered to send him one along with copies of the photos. A good chance to get a few more signatures. Very nice person who was impressed that I knew he was 19 at the time of the Olympics. Still the youngest gold medal winning basketball player of all time.
