Hi Ted & Lee,
Keep in mind that we are talking about "possibile combinations", not confirmed. The cards were Not released as a set, but were regionally distributed by the brand's popularity. The 350 series is probably the best example of this, as each region of the country received minor league cards of teams in there area, hence no Southern Leaguers were sent to the Northeast, and no Buffalo players ended up in the South.
Also keep in mind, that Sweet Caps were very popular in the Metro areas of the east and midwest, but not nearly as popular in the rural markets. Piedmont on the other hand had widespread popularity throughout the country, and was the more dominant brand. Sales figures will probably show the 2 were very similiar in sales numbers, but most of the Sweet Cap numbers came from the large Metro areas in the East, versus Piedmont which was sold everywhere.
Sorry for rambling, but they didn't put Southern Leaguers in Sweet Cap packs because not enough of them were sold in the South.
Be well Brian
