You know, you're right Tom. I see that I'm just obsessed with the N43's at the moment. But perhaps the most excited I was about a card (two, actually) this year was when I came across 1909 T29 ANIMALS. I purchased an entire lot of random cards just to get them, since they were in such great shape. LION & LIONESS and TIGER.
They're currently at PSA, graded, and awaiting release. I'm excited to see the verdicts, as I feel they have a shot at being the highest ever rated. But perhaps I'm just dreaming.
From the digging I did when I first discovered them, they seem quite rare, but that was just my conclusion after doing a cursory online search for them.
So, yes, I agree with you. The animal cards from the Victorian period are special indeed.
