From 2007 to 2017 the same series of designs was used with various changes of colour, price or sponsor - this meant that some identical individual designs might be repeated in different years. For the purposes of this catalogue we have just allocated catalogue numbers each year as we would expect collectors to want the strips of 5 or 10 which would all be unique.
