Great card

sadly just not sure you could get it at this point at this price.

[parkplace33]

The best looking and highest graded 1933 Goudey Ruth.

T206 Cobb, green PSA 7. Like all these cards, can you find one to buy ?

"you could never sell or trade it" -- this, to me, is a key stipulation.

Personally, I believe the T204 Ramly Wajo, the D322 Tip Top Wagner, the 1907 Diestche Cobb fielding, and the 1925 Exhibits Gehrig are all very undervalued and poised to take off (the E90-1 Jackson would have made this list too, but that seems to be moving up lately). So, if I could sell or trade (i.e., invest), I would get the best looking/highest grade of one of these 4.

However, I cannot sell or trade, so its a keeper card. Under those circumstances, as a collector item, I personally would either buy (i) the best D322 Wagner I could, or (ii) the best T206 Plank. The Wagner because it is the closest thing there is to the T206 Wagner, which is the ultimate card. The Plank because its rare, awesome, and tied to the T206 Wagner (by set and perhaps reason for rarity).

I recently bought this D322 Wagner for $80k and bought this Plank for around $80k back in like 2018-19 (I expect its worth a lot more than $100k now)

A T210 Joe Jackson if one could be found for that price. I am lucky because I couldn't care less about owning most cards that cost over a few hundred dollars.

[Smarti5051]

I have always wanted a 1914 or 15 Cracker Jack Shoeless Joe. Give me the highest grade $100K will buy me and let me enjoy it for the rest of my days.

Wow, awesome choices, and beautiful cards.

No, not sure that I would spend anywhere near $100k on a single card. :-)

[Bliggity]

For me it would be a high-grade E121 Ruth. Great classic card, early photo in a Boston jersey, but on a Yankees card. And unlike the E135 you could get a really nice one for $100K
