That's one of my two varieties as well and am looking forward to comparing Valentine and Victoria. I read somewhere, I believe on one of the seed websites that the 'spotted' types (I think that was the word used), like Victoria are not as good as the reds, like Canada Red and Valentine. I'll believe that only if I personally find that to be true. Victoria's been around a long time like you mentioned, so somebody must have like it throughout all those past generations.
Pie is much preferred by me over cake, and rhubarb pie is on my list that I'll eat. Used to love that homemade crust along with the way the rhubarb was prepared. Delicious!
