Thanks for the research, Scott. The dry-cleaning thing was something that never occurred to me. I was recalling boxes of Spic and Span powder and thought that was where the cards came from. I wondered about the distribution because they would seem to have been marketed in the Milwaukee area. As a Braves fan from when they were in Boston, I was on the lookout for Braves stuff as a kid in upstate NY, and the only other regional issue I saw was the Johnston Cookie cards, so I wondered if the Spic and Spans had turned up in other parts of the county.
