I'd look for a combo of "meaningful to me" and "great looking card" if it needed to be $100K without any option to sell in the future.
My #5 type collection still needs several obscure cards, yet TBD if any would run $100K if they turned up. Even the best known 1887 Old Judge "$10,000 Kelly" #5 card would've cost me ~$12K at the 2023 National.
High-grade 1914 Boston Garter Color (H813-2) of Johnny Evers or 1924 Willard's Sports Champions Babe Ruth (four PSA 7s to choose from) _could_ cost $100K in today's money, so let's say one of those.
