I notice that the Postcards Netherlands section is mentioned twice. On the 2nd click only returns one item: # 8306109
Maybe there is a blank before or after the country name in this item? I can't figure that out.

I am convinced that this will be rectified soon.

But maybe it is necessary (useful) to go a little further ?
Blanks (spaces) at the end of a 'data' are eg a charge for stamps, eg the nominal value. It causes a value to be listed multiple times as a group ('2', '2', '2', '2', '2', ...), which makes searching by nominal value a bit more complicated. I usually improve a few, but there are really way too many. And with, for example, a space in front of them, they usually do not stand together.
Nice to know: after correcting a value, you cannot find out in the history whether there was a blank behind or before. Is exactly whether it is a change from 'something' to 'the same'. Think that an administrator who will see that (when validated) will later think it was occupational therapy. However, nothing could be further from the truth.

(1) Can a good soul in the programmers release something on certain fields to remove leading and trailing stations ? That would be greatly appreciated.
Also occurs with the series name. For example, if you copy the series name of another item on LD, then there will usually be such a blank. You don't see it right away, but it does make a difference (2 different series that are actually only one).
(2) Ideally, leading spaces and trailing spaces are filtered out by default when storing data on LD . That is not the case now.
Is not necessarily everywhere, but it is appropriate (data quality)
For the title, for example, trailing spaces are common, but it does not hinder. The cause is the addition '(copy)', which is sometimes only erased up to the '(' with the backspace.

We only have one Netherlands :-)
I will pass on the question about the spaces.
