Personally, I consider the 1906 W601 postcard to be his rookie card. While this is also a team card, it also shows Cobb in an individual portrait with an individual label. That is quite a bit different than the shoulder-to-shoulder, full body team shot (ie. team shots in the post war era). Again, everybody will have their own opinions, but this one is a touch easier, IMO.
It is made of cardboard, shows an individual image of him, was made for distribution, and is easy to date based on production and postmarks.

Cobb's Rookie Card
Hi Matt, its Joe T. Cobb's inaugural appearance on a baseball card is his 1906W601 composite, but similar to other hobbyists, you may not prefer a team picture as your rookie card example. Personally, I don't place team photos/composites in the rookie card category but that's simply my opinion. For example, if that was the case, the 1915 Boston Red Sox team postcard would be Ruth's true rookie card, and we know the hobby clearly recognizes Ruth's 1916 M101 issues as his true rookie card(s).
With that said, I would go with one of his 1907 postcards (H.M. Taylor, Wolverine, Dietsche, etc.). Of course you could wait for a 1907 W600 Sporting Life cabinet but that will break the bank! I would shy away from the 1907 - 1909 Novelty Cutlery issue because some hobby speculation now places that card as a 1909 initial release date, not 1907. If you want to discuss in further detain, please feel free to give me a call. Regards, Joe T.

Agreed, after the W601 it's one of these:
