I've never built a $100k collection, but I've been close, and have been fortunate to be able to own some really substantial cards. I've come to learn that if my budget is $10, I always want the $20 card. If my budget is $10k, I want the $20k card. I have no reason to think if I have $100k at my disposal that I'd want the $200k cards.
I've found the hunt is as exciting as the card, so I've turned to set building as a way to satisfy my collecting interests. I can pore over the $10-20 cards, and have the budget flexibility to buy the key cards in the same condition. With $100k, I'd probably work on a nice VG set of 1933 Goudeys.
