This was the first real post I made on the blog. Looking back about five months later I noticed some mistakes that I made that, if corrected, would've made the post better. But what can I say, it was the first post I made using cards.
If you'd like to read the post, go ahead. If you don't, you probably want to skip all of the italicized portion of the post (which makes up most of it). Alright, without further adieu, here is my first post (besides the intro):
For Christmas, my uncle gave me the 2023 Flagship Collection Box of Topps baseball cards. It is a hefty set, with 10 regular card packs, 3 flagship collection packs, and an oversized base card. Here's some of the cards that I liked from it.
The oversize card I got was Riley Greene; that was pretty cool because I really like him.
The Blue Foil Freddy Furmin is probably my favorite card I got.
Those old-school looking cards are neat too.
Yes, the one on the right is Felix Bautista, not Adley Rutschman.
They call Nolan Arenado the favorite son. I feel bad for his brothers.
And now for all 15 of my flagship cards:
Well, that about wraps it up. Thanks for reading my first post, and I hoped you liked it. If you'd like to read more baseball stuff (not card related), check out talkinprobaseball.blogspot.com or thebaseballpessimist.blogspot.com (you may need to copy and paste the links.)
Thanks for reading!
So, what was wrong with the post? You see the blue foil Freddy Furmin card, the one I said was my favorite? Well, it's a purple foil, not blue. I also neglected to say (and didn't even notice this until about twenty or thirty minutes ago) that it is in fact numbered 648/799. That blue Eugenio Suarez foil is also numbered, 276/999.
The numbering of both cards makes them more special to me; especially the Freddy Furmin, as I have grown to really like him. There are a few other mistakes when it came to the cards (mostly not clarifying what indeed they are, like the Corbin Carroll card being Topps Black Gold, and so on and so forth), and I'm not even gonna go into the writing style. The lighting was also bad as well as the cropping, but hey, we learn from our mistakes.
This may have been a waste of time, but I felt like I needed to clear this up, even though it wouldn't make a big difference and y'all probably wouldn't even have noticed had I not made a big deal out of it. Well, maybe getting the colors wrong would be noticeable...
So there we go. I have cleared up the error of my younger self's ways. Now I can sleep at night. Have a great weekend y'all!
I applaud your attempt to improve the quality of your content and further enhance your writing skill set! As you continue blogging you'll catch more and more mistakes before you hit that publish button, but even if you don't it's fine.
ReplyDeleteI probably revise at least 20% of my posts after publishing them. Sometimes it's because a fellow collector will point out something. Other times I just catch an error after I've already published it.
ReplyDeleteThat Freddy Furmin card is fire 🔥
