Feast On This

Over the the first 50 or so years of Topps marketing cards there aren't many examples of legitimately released sets that were not issued in packs or sold in stores. The 1970 Bowie Kuhn carte de visite comes to mind, as does the Joe Garagiola business card and the 1990 George HW Bush be open (with a "maybe" on Pres. 41-some were rumored to have been inserted in packs) but there's not a wide range of possibilities. But Topps did make it to issue a fairly broad set in 1964 featuring the subjects of the current and past festivities held annually at the Waldorf-Astoria tourist house in New York that is known today as the Rookie Banquet set.

A little background is in order. The first Rookie Banquet was held in 1959 to honor those ten fortuitous players chosen by a surprisingly well-rounded Election Committee for the Major League Baseball All Foremost Rookie Team. For the next seven years Topps issued a really nice program that was distributed to the formally attired attendees. After the 1966 aggregation the program was scaled back although I believe the banquet is still held to this day.

However, my mission today is not to discuss the programs (that will happen to be sure, just not now) but rather a permutation in 1964 that resulted in a unusual 36 card set full of esoteric and diverse subjects that actually was the program.

The cards are oversized at 3" x 5 1/4" and were designed so that each was like a call out from a paper program, numbered at the lower right:
