There are typically dozens of errors in each volume each year. However, this is not one of them.

If you look at the left side near the top, you will see "BERLIN". You have the Berlin issue, which would make your stamp Germany #9NB276(16Nov1989) in the Scott catalog.

Lots of people have made this type of IDing mistake on the Berlin issues. I'm certain I've made the same mistake in past.

I figured it would be something like that.

The current Scott editor(s) are very responsive to emails regarding errors. As I mentioned, there are typically dozens of errors introduced each year for each volume (don't ask me how or why). The great majority of them get corrected within 1 year.

I have to admit, I never submit error reports because I'm typically using catalogs that are at least 1 year older. On occasion, a few errors will remain for years before they get corrected.

The 2005 US Specialized and the 2006 worldwide set were horrendous. Those were the first color editions for those catalogs, and I assume that was responsible for the bevy of errors in those editions.
