I think their are so many more collectors (much more demand and supply) in the T206's, prices are much more established vs N172. When you can look up a T206 in VCP and see there might be 6-10 transaction over the last year or two, you can be a lot more confident that when you run an auction the price will be close. Now the down side it is unlikely to have much of a bidding war when you can wait a month or two and another will be for auction.
Its just the opposite for N172's, demand/supply is pretty thin and many cards might only have 1-2 transactions or less per player over a year or two so putting them up for auction you can be taking a pretty large price risk, if there is only one strong bidder then you the seller can take a bath, at the same time if by chance you have a very desirable player/pose combo you can get a nice bidding war and can exceed VCP and sometimes by a lot.
I have a small ebay store and I have no issues just auctioning off any T206 I get and will start at .99 for most. For N172's I would only list them with the starting bid thats an amount I am ok with it selling at and if it fails to sell then move it to a BIN.
