After the printing of group 1 with 350 Series backs concluded in early 1910, production of group 2 began. This group added to the set 114 major-league subjects (players) as well as 86 minor-league subjects. When this group was first introduced to expand the 350 Series, it included 200 new subjects. The later replacement of the Demmitt and O'Hara cards with their St. Louis variations brings the total checklist to 202 cards.
Like group 1, group 2 was printed with Piedmont 350, Sweet Caporal 350, Sovereign 350 (Forest Green), El Principe De Gales and Old Mill (BBS) backs. Also at this time, distribution was expanded by seven additional brands, including American Beauty, Broad Leaf, Cycle, Drum, Carolina Brights, Polar Bear and Tolstoi.
In the second half of 1910, group 2 was concluded and production of group 3 began.

During the printing of group 2, these four backs were produced for simultaneous distribution. This is evident by comparing the confirmed subjects for each back group and the packing/shipping dates on company ledger pages. Any of the 184 subjects from this group that were printed with one of these backs are thought to have been printed with the other three as well.
