In 1991, Domino's Pizza teamed up with Upper Deck to produce a 50 card set of current and past NFL quarterbacks in a set entitled "Quarterback Challenge":
The backs feature another picture as well as stats and career accomplishments:
The cards came in packs which included 4 cards:
According to Beckett, the promotion launched in August, 1991. Customers who ordered the Domino's Pizza NFL Kickoff Deal received 2 medium cheese pizzas, four cans of Coke/Diet Coke/Sprite, and one pack of cards for $9.99.
The first 31 cards feature then current NFL quarterbacks that were active in 1991:
Cards 32 - 46 featured retired quarterbacks:
and cards 47 - 49 were combo cards featuring 2 quarterbacks from the same team but different eras:
Card 50 was a checklist.
As Papa John's is the official NFL pizza sponsor this year, it would be great if they were doing a similar promotion this year. How much better would your Super Bowl pizza taste if the pizza delivery guy handed you a pack of cards along with your pizza!
I remember going to my shop and opening pack after pack of those. Well over a hundred packs. Never got the complete set. Collation was HORRIBLE.
