Ronny,
Obviously you're no fan of the new catalog. ;)
I used to submit updates to Krause, but stopped after seeing they ignored
them year after year. Why solicit this info if you intend to ignore it?
I have begun producing my own catalog pages for countries that I know very
well. It's not an easy process, but it _can_ be done correctly if you
care.
One of the biggest problems is the arbitrary nature of the Pick number
assignment. There doesn't seem to be a consistent logic to it either
within
a country or across countries.
Personally, I don't mind seeing varieties from different printers assigned
variety letters rather than new numbers if all that has changed is the
printer imprint. To me that's like a new date or signature variety. But if
there's a substantial change in the security features or note design, then
clearly a new number should be issued.
