I had a question from a buyer regarding instructions of CMF’s.

He bought some from a different seller but due to our nice communication (I guess)
he asked me why the numbering of his series 13 didn’t make sense, he also missed
some and had some double.

If I am correct these leaflets are always the same unless you mark the empty
circle by yourself.
But maybe I need to be educated myself in this case...

The packages are marked with a barcode in the earlier series, later with dots/dents/pimples.

So if I am wrong I would like to know and I can give the information to my buyer
too, I will point this forumpost to him to.

Thanks already!

There were a couple of the collectors series that had a small printed number
on the instructions that was different for each set.

BrickLink did not differentiate between them.

Here's an example online:

See the 16 in the white circle on the upper corner on the back of the instructions.

I seem to remember as well that the number on the back did not match the number
of the figure. That is, that not all Kings had a number 1 leaflet and so on.
I guess it was something to do with the extra printed code on the back of the
leaflet rather than the figure it was included with.
