The Stars & Stripes week begins!

 To start things off I must announce the winner from last week's Maddux giveaway: RJ.

Now as reminder on how I am doing my 250th celebration of our Nation's Independence.

I will breakup the huge collection of Patriotic themed cards which are primarily baseball cards, but not all into four separate posts. Each post will have some sort of theme to it, but not strictly. One (tonight) will be "STARS" related mixed with some other stuff within like Liberty and America.

The second post (tomorrow) will be the first of two posts of MISC so as to break up the monotony.

The third post (Thursday) will be primarily about the Red, White, and Blue just not completely.

Then closing out on Friday with the other MISC post.

I have created a second binder to assist in the re-arranging of this Holidate. Noe let's kick things off with some odd ball type cards then move into the STARS section.

Of course I had to put some Patriotic Atlanta Braves post cards in here.

Above scans have in order the 2017 Topps Independence day cards and you can easily see which ones I am still missing. Then a splash of R/W/B Optic cards leading into the STARS.

I left a space for the non variation Bo.

I probably should have left a space for the non variation Trout and Pudge too, but then it wouldn't have made a nice scan.

I don't have many of the America parallels.

The Liberty cards definitely look better with the rainbow foil. By now I'm sure you are Donruss'd out.  That's a good thing cuz we're done with round 1.

God bless the USA!
