I think the first numbered cards in the 1991 and 1992 sets (Donruss Elite Series, UD Heroes autos) were probably what set the whole thing in motion. Of course inserts were part of Topps cards back in 1956 when they started putting in the mail in cards for gloves and transistor radios for predicting game scores. Then lucky penny in 1957.
