So I have a bunch of store credit (~approx $100 US) saved up at a store I no longer can easily get to, so I'm looking at using it to grab a bunch of cards. What sort of cards do you think it would be best to get?
I only have 1 Modern deck (and still a long way from completing more), don't play standard and only occasionally play other formats. I was talking with someone and they were liking the idea of grabbing some reserve list staples (possibly even a dual land), but I thought I'd get some more ideas and see what might be best?
For "holding" value? Reserve list staples seem like a good choice.
For something that's easily sold for cash? Any kind of frequently traded card, e.g. modern staples.
Any cards you actually want to play with yourself is probably the highest utility choice for you personally, but there's no way for us to know what cards you want (if any).
Edit: And if you want to turn the cards into cash ASAP compare the buylist prices of some larger store with the retail prices of the store in question. You'll lose a significant percentage, but that's probably the quickest store credit to cash transaction you can get, unless you find someone willing to buy your store credit (if that's even allowed by the store).
Edit2: Noticed you're in Australia. Due to postage prices and such it's probably better to just get reserve list staples, with the value divided among as few cards as possible (preferrably a single card). Or if you're looking to resell quickly, go for the kind of cards you see sell quickly in your local groups.

In other words: "What's the best MTG investment I can make for $100?"
You can get a non-blue revised dual, or you can grab a couple judge foils or Inventions/Expeditions. Or some mix thereof. That's what I'd go for. I won't go into specifics, because their inventory is probably what will make the most restrictions.
You could also make significant strides towards another Modern deck (or even several, if you go for a manabase), but you didn't ask Market Street because you wanted to know which Modern deck you should play.
