Redid the 1988 Topps Vin Scully in color. I don't have a lot of experience with colored pencils. It's a work in progress...

1986, 1987 & 1988 Drake's sets.
They stuck with the 1985 Topps card back style for all 3 sets.
I love that on the back, it shows all the varieties of Drake's cakes on which the cards could be found.

From 1986-88, Fleer made a 120-card "Classic Miniature" set.
And the best thing about them - they used different photos from the regular sized set.
