May stumble on more clues but the main one that got me thinking is that Series 2 has no Braves, only Bees. Name change not announced until January 31, 1936. Certainly there are other cards (the two Bottomley cards, for example) in Series 2 that are definitely 1936, but it’s really the absence of Braves that pushed me in this direction, coupled with three of the Series 2 Bees cards having low numbers within the series.
