1990 Pro Set FACT

1990 Pro Set FACT
UPDATED: July 14, 2014

Description:  Five thousand sets were produced.  They were released in packs for a period of 15 weeks, one pack with 25 cards + header, to 4th through 6th graders in 29 Cincinnati area schools.  The complete set includes Series I cards with the same fronts as the base set, except card #338.  The back text is changed to educational questions.  An extra 25 consisting of 24 Super Bowl Theme Art cards and 1 SB XXIV insert card from series I were also handed out. These 25 cards do not have questions on the back and do not differ from their poly pack counterparts. The set totals 415 cards (headers included).  The rumored Eric Dickerson SP (at the time) was not included BUT does exist!  A 'friend of the blog' sent proof!!  The card is graded, but I did not show what company/number for anonymity reasons.  UPDATE:  The Dickerson card has card #286s' (Mike Cofer's) question on the back.

Unreleased Eric Dickerson "mock-up" of the FACT card with text in bio area.

Fact Pin Given to Students
1990 Pro Set FACT weekly packs picture sent by a "collector from PA"
Notes:  Seems that a "Collector From PA" mentioned that the original FACT cards for the Pro Bowl (PB) do not have bio area text on any of them.  That would suggest the Dickerson must be a prototype?  Also, there should be a "master key" in this set.   The teachers copy should have had the answers list (or dare i suggest, answer cards!?)  Any information about this is also greatly needed and appreciated! UPDATE:  Added 5000 sets and 4th -6th graders in the description to coincide with the information obtained by a "collector in PA."

    Hello there!

    I own this complete set =)

    I was a 5th grader at a Cincinnati Public School in 1990 and earned this entire binder set. I recently pulled it out and started to do some research. I haven't found much factual information, but supposedly its a rare collection. Any additonal info you may have I would love to hear.

    Thanks!

    great! I would love some pics!! There is very little information on them. you have it right in front of you let us know how it was distributed. how many cards per packs, did the teacher have her own copy with answers, was there paper work with them, which are the cards missing from my list (you said 400).. anything! and if you would part with it, i would be interested in purchasing! :)

    Hi. The FACT set WAS 400 cards, 25 cards a week (26 with the header card) for 15 weeks and/with the last 25 cards being the 24 card Super Bowl theme art insert set (normal backs, no questions) and the Super Bowl XXIV insert from series one. Don't know if these last 25 were a throw in, a bonus, or what but they are not mentioned in the student instructional booklet as being part of the 15 weeks. There is also a FACT binder with sheets and the student instructional booklet that has all the cards listed for each week along with the question on each card that was given to the stidents. Then there's the Dickerson card. It was NOT issued as part of the FACT set and in looking at the photo, it appears to be a mock-up only because the trivia under the picture is not removed. On all the actual Pro Bowl FACT cards, the trivia is removed and it is blank under the pic. The question on the Dickerson card is actually on card #286 Mike Cofer, that was issued in week one. There is a great write-up on the 1990 FACT set at this link along with a couple of interesting pictures. http://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/1990-pro-set-fact-barry-sanders-102-rare-cinti-only

    wow! great info! would you be able to send pictures of cards and binder and/or scans of paper work? This is the most elusive set I have ever tried to document. And you show up with the answers like if it is common knowledge! I appreciate anything you can do for the blog!
