Hank Aaron
Joe Namath
I picked these because I have a lot of rookies and these would be ones to add to my collection. They are not the greatest of all time or probably the most expensive but classics.
Gretzky is close enough to GOAT. I can even go so far as to say you can consider him a tie w/ Howe in some conversations.
100k seems like a heck of a high budget for the OP hypothetical. Should be able to get decent grades of any 4 you want with that kind of bank, excluding a high grade Mantle blazer.
$100k is the max, bit of you grabbed say a Gretzky PSA 8/9, a Mantle 3/4, an Aaron PSA 8, a Clemente PSA 8, and a Ryan 8/8.5 the budgets goes quickly
I'd have to say Aaron, Mantle, Orr, Jim Brown, and Oscar Robertson. I passed over Gretzky and Jordan, just because they are easier to find. Now, I'd have to adjust conditions to fit under the 100K, but that would be fine.
Fun Game! I would go after things that seem smart to buy at this point in time based on where prices have settled...
Brady
Mickey Mantle
Michael Jordan
Wayne Gretzky
Jim Brown
If I had some cash left over I'd buy a Ric Flair card, just because.
