Jeff LichtmanJoe, there is in fact a rare Robinson rookie version that is yellow and has an overall better looking front as well. You don't see as many of the yellow version due to the exponential rarity compared to the old red white and blue version.
By the way, I just finished Charles Alexander's bio of Cobb and on page 234, Cobb discusses baseball cards -- he noted that the first time he ever saw one of his cards was when he was in Cuba in 1946 -- and therefore, that was his rookie card according to him. Immediately thereafter, I had the great fortune to pick up this beauty/rookie of Cobb, I was wondering if you'd like to buy it from me for $10,000 -- just a tad more than I bought it for but that was before it was Cobb's first card. I would be willing to substitute your common Robinson rookie instead if you are so inclined.
