In 2019, you could have purchased lots of sweet cards with that kind of money. In today's market, 100k won't get you much - maybe four or five blue chips and that's it. It sucks.

Now, to answer the OP's question, I'd pick a few from this list below:

Baseball

- Leaf Jackie Robinson
- World Wide Gum Co. Joe DiMaggio
- Bowman Willie Mays
- Bowman Mickey Mantle

Football

- National Chicle Bronko Nagurski
- Topps Jim Brown
- Topps Joe Namath

Hockey

- Parkhurst Gordie Howe
- Topps Bobby Orr
- Topps Bobby Hull

Basketball

- Topps Bill Russell
- Fleer Wilt Chamberlain

I love the list below. My only edit would be to take out the DiMaggio and throw in one of the 4 t206 cobbs. I just think over time the t206 will hold value more than DiMaggio (coming from a guy who has zero insight).

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.
