Topps Rookie Banquets
From 1959 until at least 1966 ( maybe longer) Topps held Rookie Banquets in NY after the season. In some years, 58-60 for sure, they had pack inserts that allowed purchasers to vote for their favorite all star rookies. They also accumulated votes through the Boy Scouts and other youth organizations. The winners appeared with the designation and trophy on next years cards and it the next banquet program.
There were paper programs for 59-63 and 65-66. There may have been one for 64 but I have not seen it. There was however a boxed set of cards that comprised the program for 64, and it is a sought after Topps item since it features among others, Pete Rosen on one of the cards. The programs themselves are cool with a lot of neat baseball and Topps info
