I posted about this subject in a previous thread on the 9-10's in this auction:

Starting at post #13 through #25 might lend some insight. There was a large find of uncirculated T206's at the end of the 1980's. From the backs that were in the group it was likely a box of cards meant to be put into packs at factory 25 that were taken home. No Sweet Caporal, Just Piedmont 150-350, Sovereign 150-350 and Old Mill Southern League. You will notice the number of Sovereign 150 backs in this collection at Heritage. This was a pretty well documented find at the time, I covered about all I can remember in the other thread.
