Glen -

According to Baseball-Reference.com, Robert J. Wakefield did in fact play for the Bears in 1953. Judging by the info on the card's reverse I'd agree that it's probably from a 1953 Denver Bears Team Issue.

I do know Spic and Spans were also distributed at the dry cleaner's store in my home town, Fond du Lac, 60 miles north of Milwaukee in the mid-late 1950s.

Thanks Bob - I guess it was just me thinking of the stuff on the store shelves - Spic and Span Powder. Since I never saw the cards as a kid, just assumed that was the product link. Wonder if the dry cleaners ever heard from the national company on the name appropriation.
