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.

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.
