The yellow borders reflect a print run when the fellow mixing the orange either ran out of or forgot the red so only yellow was used instead of a red/yellow mixture. It's a stretch, but I guess it is possible. This happens a lot in the 1948 Leaf football set. The green used on Eagles cards was made by mixing blue and yellow. Many Eagles cards that should be green can be found in all shades from pure yellow to pure blue. Of course, no set had worse quality control than the 1948 Leaf football set.

Interesting theory. If you're correct, what does that say then about the T206 orange-variation Cobb?
