1991 Topps Baseball Forum

I can confirm that the Glossy All-Star set was only a mail in offer.  My buddy and I recently opened up three rak cases (9 rak boxes-216 rak packs total) and not a single glossy All-Star card was anywhere in 216 Rak Packs.  In previous years they had been available 1 card per Rak Pack.  In 1991 they were only available via a mail in offer, and in 1992 (and beyond) they were discontinued.  The checklist is on the back of each wrapper, but no card is included.  The wrapper does not say that a Glossy All-Star is included. 

As poorlittlecritter has pointed out, the checklist for the Glossy Rookie set also appears on each jumbo pack wrapper.  I haven't opened any jumbo packs, but I would assume that, unlike previous years, there is NOT a glossy rookie included on the pack (again, the wrapping does not say one is included).  Also, much like the Glossy All-Stars, 1991 is the last year Topps would make them available.  Starting in 1992 (and beyond), the Glossy Rookies would also be discontinued.

This is confirmed further by the scarcity of these cards on ebay and Sportlots, especially compared to how plentiful the rest of the Glossy All-Stars/Glossy Rookies are from other years.

BCP gets their info from Beckett:

https://www.beckett.com/baseball/1991/topps-glossy-all-stars/
"These 22 glossy standard-size cards were inserted one per Topps rack packs ..."

https://www.beckett.com/baseball/1991/topps-rookies/
"This set contains 33 standard-size cards and were distributed at a rate of one per retail jumbo pack."

The Release Notes on the All-Star set were updated in September 2022, but we still need confirmation on the Rookie set, if that was another mail-in offer only or if the cards were actually in the packs.

Beckett is bad about just copying & pasting notes from previous years.
