Snap your fingers and acquire cards

General
1

You are on a fossil excavation trip with your local fossil hunting club. You get to the site and grab your trusty shovel. With a swift strike, you penetrate the dirt and hear a loud *DING*. Excitedly, you unearth the remains of spiral-shaped ancient organism. Could this be the legendary HELIX FOSSIL (praise helix)? A loud, deafening noise reverberates out of the timeless stone. The fossil begins to vocalize and form sentences. It promises to grant you an amazing set of wishes…
You are given the amazing opportunity to simply snap your fingers and aquire the following cards:

  • One card valued at $10 or less.
  • One card valued at $100 or less.
  • One card valued at $1,000 or less.
  • One card valued at $10,000 or less.
  • One card with arbitrarily large value.

5 cards total. Which will you choose? ? ? ?
Make your answers relevant to your immediate collecting goals. Images encouraged, especially for esoteric cards.

  1. IDK… Shining Rayquaza comes to mind, probably something that has a nice artwork that is obscure/common that I can’t think of off the top of my head.

  2. 2009 Victory Medal 1st place (the one with the Pikachu) PSA 10.

  3. Mysterious Pearl PSA 10.

  4. Parent/Child Kanga (Any condition).

  5. Again, not sure. Wonder Platinum? Master Key? Illustrator? A SNAP card? 1997 Trophy? Any of these (first two PSA 10, rest any condition) would be my pick… whatever I could find.
