"Pick"? ...dumb question(?)

    I have wondered what the word "Pick" meant in citations of certain banknotes. At ebay, or other auction sites, sellers' descriptions have the word "Pick#..." in them. I guess Pick is the name of the original banknote cataloguer?

    See this example below:
    ND (1965) 100 Won Pick# 38a K&C53.9/DK52-2 South Korea, Bank of Korea. Red Seal & Bank Title PMG Choice Uncirculated 64

    This citation is from a note currently for sale at Great Collections.

    The K&C 53.9 number: That's from catalog publisher, O-Sung K&C, the editor is Mr. Han Chang-joo.

    The DK 52-2 number: That's from the catalog publisher, DaeGwang-sa.

    Both of these catalog companies are based in Seoul and published annually.

    So, could someone tell me more about "Pick"? I assume that's the "P" number, too?

    Thank you.

    Is he the current editor? This is a Krause publication, right?
    I'll look this up.

    Yes Krause, no Pick is not the editor anymore, the last copy I have is edited by George S. Cuhaj.

    If you're looking into world catalogs, to not forget to check out the Banknote Book, Owen Linzmayer's new catalog.
