Just another Maddux Monday plus something

 To kick start All-Star week some housekeeping is in order.

1) The winner of the Wacky Giveaway was the Night Owl. Greg, I have a significant stack of Dodgers from my recent PC updates and I've put these with them. I'll mail them soon.

2) Speaking of the PC update: I am on the V's. I dumped a couple, decided to box up a couple too. A Cowinkie dink: This past weekend I started sorting my Verlander and began entering them into TCDB on Sunday, before Verlander announced he would be retiring this year. The last few years have basically been a bust for him. I was really hoping he'd get to 300 wins but the 260's will have to do. That of course will not hinder him getting into the HOF, that's as good as done. Now onto the Maddux cards.

Here are this weeks freebies.

I'm rooting for the National league as always.

Looks like we made it! The Last Day! Finally here, we did it!

 We made the week or at least through it. As a reminder there is no telling what all you will find here tonight in this 4th Celebration post for America's 250th! 

Now typically when it comes to my Holidates binders I will show off some athletes that share that day (July 4th here) for their birthdate. Here is that portion to start things off.

Next we venture it to the MISC section.

I'm pretty sure that I have a few monster boxes of Bowman product that I still haven't gotten to for set builds that contain some of those Bowman International USA cards.

I believe that these Finest World's Finest are some of the best Patriotic cards I have. The scans do not do them justice.

Five of the seven original cyber stats in review cards. 

Now to bring us back to full circle: Some 2026 cards:

Technically these are just Red/Blue parallels, but hey they work.

Miss LIBERTY again.

And finally we come to the end with my annual tradition of FIREWORKS:

Took all week, but got it done! Go enjoy the weekend. God Bless the USA!

Resuming with the Red, White, and BOOM!

 Picking back up with the 250 celebration of this GREAT Nation! The theme for tonight is Red, White, and Blue (assuming it actually shows up tonight: yesterday's still doesn't show on my reading list as of this writing).

Here we goooooooooooooooooooooooo!

Schwarber is certainly putting the BOOM in the ball this season and is still leading the majors in home runs.

See folks I even put a few non baseball guys in there tonight. One more to go (MISC). After which we get back to our regularly scheduled programming, lol.
