Best $10,000 investment card

[Sluggerrr]

I'm going to break the rules and say that I would buy two cards. OP said they want a nice 55 Koufax. I think a PSA/SGC 4 can be had for $1,500. I'd pair that with a Jackie Robinson. 48 Leaf, 49 Bowman or a 52 Topps. No preference. They're all lovely.

1947 Jackie Robinson Bond Bread Portrait is one I believe has lots of room to run.

I would also go the multiple card route. A few of my picks would be:

1952 Topps Mathews
1953 Topps Mantle (passed on a clean, well centered PSA 3 about 9-10 years ago for $900, ouch)
1968 Topps Nolan Ryan, even a signed copy. I think Nolan is someone that has and will continue to transcend generations making it a strong move going forward.
