Hockey: Bobby Orr
Basketball: Currey/LeBron
Football: Mahomes
Modern Baseball: Pujols

You get the gist - there are a lot of established stars out there other than pre-war and iconic rookies such as Aaron/Mays/Mantle/etc. that would probably net more percentage wise, or ROI.

Just some thoughts.
For post-war cards outside of baseball, I think Wilt Chamberlain's 1961 Fleer card No. 8 has so much room to grow. For $10K, a buyer can still get a midgrade copy of one of the most iconic basketball cards in the hobby.

I think 10K gets you close to a 7 now.
