I think that's the key, T206 is so available that it gets most of the attention. And because people like stuff that's not ordinary any easily spotted variety will get a load of attention. T206 missing colors fall into a special category of uncommon enough to become valuable, but not so uncommon that most people figure they'll never see one let alone be able to afford it.
I follow most sets to some degree, but If you show me a misprinted T206 I'll probably spot the misprint. If you showed just the E92 missing red with no comment, I'd have to look it up to know the red should be there.
Maybe I should check some of my Non-T206s? Never hurts to have an excuse to look at the cards
