I love that you’re depicting the Solar System accurately and to scale. It’s always bothered me that planetary orbits are often shown as equally-spaced concentric circles. The Voyager missions could be interesting to include as you consider

Chances seem small that it was his, but chances also seem small of another quirky guy making tear-off $2 pads. 6 repeating digits is quite impressive: maybe you could call again and ask if he was in Chicago around a certain date.
