I think your "rare" list was quite comprehensive. Limited editions, discontinued colors and leathers, you name it. As of today if we don't mention the obvious ones from the past few years you might want to add crinoline B's and K's, Troika bags, dalmatian bags, So blacks..

Sometimes it is hard to say if any of the current limited editions or special orders will evolve into iconic, sought after bags in the future. If I could go back I would have acquired also an So Black Kelly when I had the chance. Then again we all remember how a couple of years ago when Barenia was nearly non attainable it became the leather everyone craved for.. I believe the true classics (for example bags in box, barenia) stand against the time much better than many limited editions which are offered more and more. For sure the latter are more difficult to obtain but then again preferences differ widely.
