What on earth would you do with these, if you won this lot?:eek::eek::eek:
If you can give me a viable answer to this question and if your name isn't Criger, I might just buy them for you.

what i would do with them is plaster them on the wall in my man cave or give them to young kids to maybe start a next generation of collectors of prewar cards

My Monster number would be 241 on sets 1 through 1025, and 240 on sets 1026 through 9000. Finally someone would be working on more sets than Ted.

Maybe a wall in my closet, but not a Criger wall in my man cave.:mad:
Giving them to kids makes sense, but in my town if all every kid in town had was a Criger, trading might be equitable, but hardly stimulating.
Bicycle spokes would be another story though. Crigers could become synonymous with horsepower in the youth biker world. Imagine the roar of a twelve Criger Schwinn.:D

If someone submits 1025 sets to the Monster Number Thread, i guarantee you that they will then own it.

Go to the local public & university libraries, used bookstores and antique shops, slide a Wagner in amongst the pages of some random old books.

I'm glad you posted this, I wrote the seller to see if he could put together a lot of Dots Miller cards. I was thinking of buying some low-grade t206's of Dots to give to my six family members that are also related to him, but if I can grab a handful of reprints for each of them at the same price as one real one, then I would rather do that

You could take these cards and make a Lou Criger memory jug, or something similar. Other than that, I'm at a loss. :D

Ohio would be the perfect place for this "stuff". I can only imagine all of the tales about how great these cards are and how they came from a long lost uncle after the first world war. The only thing he had left from the depression were these cards..and he used some of them to heat his house and others to use for fire to cook the meager food he had. At around a penny each they might not have been a bad buy :).

I would think there could be a nice application for a business card...would take some imagination, but could be done.
If you're a show promoter and a little bit on the ghouly side, you could have him exhumed and signing autographs "with the aid of a device" which I think is what they did with Roy Campanella toward the end of his life.
