There are so many things one could buy/invest in if they had to spend $10,000 in one day in 1952 that I'm sure the value of today would beat any value cards had today, but strictly speaking of cards and/or memorabilia, I for sure would buy a couple cases of Topps high numbered 52's as well as as many Ruth RC's, Planks, Cobbs, Robinson's, Mantle's, just to name a few, as I could afford/find.
