Year: 1981

Set: Topps Drake's Big Hitters (Rate)

Card: #16 Cecil Cooper


“ Wow, Drake's had a better set design than Fleer and Donruss that year. ” -bigsmooth

“ Love the pinstripes and the Lonnie Smith-esque sideburns. ” -addysdaddy

“ There was a trend in the early 1980s that when a new set came out, complete sets would go for astronomical prices at first, then come crashing down. The 1981 Drake's set and the 1982 K-Mart set epitomize this. Sets of 1981 Drakes were going for big bucks ($45-$50 a set), then employees got their hands on vending cases of the stuff. Now, the set is a mere blip on the radar of collectors. ” -Dave Sosidka
