Where is it written that a specific insert card can't be inserted in every pack, factory set, etc. There were Topps factory sets that had "Topps Magazine Offer" cards in every box, they are inserts not part of the set.
The card number was replaced with "Special Collectible", the text was changed on the back, and a lifespan banner was added to the front, so they turned the base card into a "Collectible". Due to time constraints, they just took the easy, quick route instead of designing a new card to memorialize his death.

It would be an insert if it wasn't in every one, no?
The checklist even says that it was supposed have a number.
If it had've had the number on it, would you still consider it an insert?
Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.
