Box Set Special: Drake's 1985 Big Hitters Plus Superstar Pitchers

This is another small set that surfaced from my recent $150 box purchase - I've got plenty more to show off over the next few weeks.  To be honest, Drakes sets from the 80's weren't really on my radar back in the day, and they still aren't a focus for me now.  Don't get me wrong, I'll gladly add them to the collection when I stumble across them.  According to Baseball Card Almanac, Drake's released 8 sets during the 80's.  While I already own a card here and there from these sets, I've never gone out of my way to chase down the full run. The set features plenty of action shots, but I'm not a big fan of this design. It reminds of the record breaker subset from the 1976 set and the cards are printed on the all too familiar paper stock as the Topps base set from that year. The superstar pitchers make up only 11 cards from the set.  Sadly Roger Clemens was not included. Does the back look familiar?  It should because it mimics the 1985 flagship desig...
