Each card was printed on high-quality glossy cardstock, and featured a full-color photo of the quarterback on the front. The back of the card included the trivia question and coupon, as well as a brief bio of the quarterback's career stats.
The Trivia
The trivia questions on the back of the Quarterback Challenge 1991 Domino's Pizza Cards were designed to test fans' knowledge of the quarterbacks' careers. Some of the questions were relatively easy, while others required a bit more knowledge of the player's stats and accomplishments.
For example, the trivia question on the Joe Montana card read: "What was Joe Montana's career passer rating?" The answer, which was printed upside-down on the card, was "92.3."
