(RCSD) Scott numbers are still strange

Playing with the US definitives I notice that the Tiffany Lamp of
March 1, 2003 has Scott number 3758 (renumbered from 3757) while the
March 16, 2007 version is numbered 3749.
Another strange one (to me) is the October 22, 1996 Hanukka numbered
3118 while the October 6, 2006 has the number 4118.
And I still can't get a number for the October 13, 1998 Guyana ferry
link issue. Thats nine years, almost.

Hi Ralphael,
I am not a Scott user, but have you checked
"back of catalogue"?
Book printers usually include
"Addenda and Corrigenda" or maybe
"errata" to point to Catalogue updated data

Not the point at all Rod.
These stamps are listed in the front of the book.
Considering the issue date and number assigned the Tiffany Lamp stamps
does not compute in my way of thinking.
The second pair, 1000 numbers in that time span is a bit unusual.

For identifiable sets of stamps, Scott has always listed all denominations
of stamps from panes before those from coils, regardless of issue date. The
2003 Tiffany lamp is a coil while the 2007 version is from panes of 20.

The Hanukkah stamps being exactly 1000 numbers apart is just a coincidence.

Thanks Tom for the clarification. I find that I must recheck and
recheck when I encounter a problem with Scott numbers. Once or twice
my ovwersight is not the problem.
As I mentioned before, I am still waiting on Scott number for the 1998
Guyana Ferry Boat issue.
I have one nondenominated Flag/Statue Liberty stamp that I haven't
found listed yet.
