I was replying to the wrong thread of his - he posted something about who to collect and how to get rid of his old cards...

You can edit or delete it, it really seems out of place, but this thread will die soon enough I'm guessing.

Why are the multiple choice cards called Cincinnati cards?

The 1990 Pro Set FACT (Football and Academics: A Cincinnati Team) set was aimed at fourth graders in 29 schools in the Cincinnati school system. The special cards were used as motivational learning tools to promote public health and education. Twenty-five cards per week were issued in 25-card cello packs for fifteen consecutive weeks beginning October 1990. Moreover, a Teacher Instructional Game Plan, measuring approximately 8 1/2" by 11" and containing answers to all of the questions, was also issued. The standard-size cards are identical to first series cards, with the exception that the backs have interactive educational (Math, grammar, and science) questions instead of player information. Each 1990 Pro Set first series card was reprinted. The cards are numbered on the back. Each cello-wrapped pack led off with a header card which indicated the "week" number at the bottom. Initially, the missing numbers from the first series were 338, 376, and 377 but the Eric Dickerson PB card surfaced in limited quantities nearly twenty years later.
