Default 1980's Drakes cards

Recently discovered these, I have never owned any but find myself intrigued with them, therefore I in the process of purchasing a couple on line and once in hand will decide if I want to continue collecting them( somehow I believe I will enjoy them).
Does anyone else find these of any interest?

They're fun. I have one of the sets on complete boxes I bought when they were new.
If you like them, I may have some duplicates around somewhere.

I hate hand-cut cards, but as a kid I remember eating a few extra snacks to get more Drakes cards.

There were 2 different 1980s Drake set types. The early 80s that were basically a boxed type set and then later when they were on boxes of snack foods.

I really liked the 81 Drakes design and they had some great action photos too. 82-85 I think were the rest of the regular sets and those were less exciting for me, then I want to say 86 started the "on the box" sets that had to be cut off the boxes like Hostess cards from the 70s. Going by memory, so may be off.
