2013 COMC pickups #8: total eclipsed by Mike Hart

I had thought about finishing up a draft post of COMC pickups of one of my baseball PCs this evening, but then I decided on doing what I think is a cool post over on TMV, and in getting that ready I thought it would be appropriate to get this one up over here first.

Thanks to this year's COMC haul, I completed another collecting project--more specifically, a nameplate.  Given that the player's last name is only four letters long, I guess that may not seem especially difficult, but each letter was limited to just 62 copies, and it took me until recently to finish it regardless.  So which card am I all excited about today?:

Huh, well that set sure looks familiar!  I've got one or more letters for each Wolverine in the set, including Arrington, Crable, Henne, and Long, in addition to Hart.  But Sparty's Big Brother, a.k.a. Jeff's homeboy has the honor of being the first to have his entire nameplate completed:

Sweet!  I just love the look of the letter patches UD used as they look like they could have come straight off a Michigan jersey.  The letters don't fit perfectly, but they're still plenty legible, as is #20's John Hancock.  So I'm extremely proud to be able to add my first football completed project to the Rainbows/Nameplates page!  Welcome home, Mr. Hart (my 48th, by the way).

If this post didn't excite you (and even if it did), here's one more shot at some entertainment courtesy a video this post's title somewhat references--the Literal Video version of Total Eclipse of the Heart:
