Yes, but you would not have an N172 Anson in uniform.

I think part of it is somewhat akin to the T206 Wagner. Anson was widely considered to be the best player in the 19th century and this is a super-tough card from the most widely collected set of the era. Granted, there are not nearly as many people attempting a "complete" set, whatever that might be if it were possible. But nevertheless, it is an iconic 19th century card of an iconic player from the most widely collected set.
