and I will explain this and provide evidence tomorrow because it will require a lengthy post.
In the meantime I have a question for you.
There isn't a single minor league player in the T213-1 set does any other back with 350 only subjects exclude all of the minor league players?
Also you say the super prints were supposed to be 350 only but ALC
changed their mind on them which I disagree with but either way
the fact is they're not a 350 only subject.

1st..the 48 card arrangement of the Major Leaguers in the "T213-1" set were printed during an American Litho's early press run of the
350-only series T206's.
The timeline of this printing is in the Spring of 1910. This timeline is reinforced by the fact that
40 of these subjects were
NOT printed with POLAR BEAR backs.
The initial POLAR BEAR press runs started in the Summer of 1910. American Litho printed
138 subjects of the
350-only series with the POLAR BEAR backs.
2nd..In the 150 series press runs, American Lithographic printed 34 different Southern Leaguers (SL)….16 of which represent the Southern Association. Then in
the 350 series press runs, ALC expanded the SL sub-set to 48 subjects....20 of which represent the Southern Association. The 4 additional Southern Association
subjects are Bill Hart, "Hub" Hart, Lentz and Rockenfeld. This fact is important, as it clearly sets a Spring 1910 timeline for the print run of the "T213-1" cards.
3rd..42 of the 48 subjects are absolutely
350-only series subjects. This fact is certain since these cards were subsequently printed with AB350 (frame)..BL350..
CY 350..DRUM 350 backs (circa Summer 1910). And, you have to realize that the 6 super-prints were originally printed in this early
350-only series press run
together with these other 42 subjects.
The 6 super-prints, of course, were also printed with the A-B-C-D pattern. It wasn't until the SOVEREIGN 350 "apple green" print run (circa Fall 1910) that the
6 super-prints were then extended into the
350/460 series.
It appears to me that your dogmatic mind-set is preventing you from understanding this sequence of events.
