Proves something I said when I had my mini find a few months ago: we forget that original T card collections were formed by smokers who were generally loyal to particular brands. Barry's Sovereign find is entirely logical when you consider that the collector was probably the child of heavy smokers who smoked that brand. I would expect that many if not most original T card accumulations would be weighted heavily towards one or two brands, reflecting the smoking preferences of the accumulators and/or their families.
