Several things I found out from googling Tom Rhoads. He as an honorable mention All American on the famous Notre Dame 1966 team. He played High School in Cincinnati at St. X. He was drafted in 1967 #70 and was let go before the season. He then tried out for the Bengals first football team but retired on the advise of Paul Brown. He never played for either team or any team in the NFL. I would bet this card was made for the same reason as the others (promotion for Partridge Meats and for the New Bengals) but was pulled early on. He was a local guy and was trying out for the New Bengals and was available to do autographing in the grocery stores to help promote the new football team. Could this be the only known copy? I hope!
