In Catalog Requests, Ralphnor writes:    2958pb095 add alternate item number 82462 based on pick-a-brick for set 10298 thank you BrickLink does not currently add the LEGO design numbers for printed parts to the catalog. Basically, the LEGO design numbers for printed parts are obsolete after the LEGO Group discontinues the parts from their online databases. Therefore, they are only around for a couple to a few years. After that time, any link between other websites is forever lost with the LEGO parts database, Brickset, etc. What isn't lost is the part number molded into the part. And in the near future after any printed part is released, it will be most easily identified with that part number on the part rather than some number that cannot be found any longer. Cheers, Randy
