I have a couple stickers, still new on their backing. But when I look up the
number on the stickers, 170900 and 170910, I get multiple catalog numbers for
them:

[p=1737stk03]
[p=6815stk01]

and 4 more entries, and

[p=1737stk01]
[p=5129stk01]

and 6 more identical entries!

Now, I know this was done originally to show which set it was from, but since
these are identical, and it is even mentioned in each entry that it is identical
to the others, shouldn't they be combined?

Otherwise, how should I list these stickers? There is no way for me to know which
set they came from?

This causes a lot of issues, especially in the old 9V train stuff, since the
same sticker sheet was used across several sets too. I know it's been brought
up before, and they left things as they were

Drats. So what do you think of my solution for my listing problem: I list the
sticker under ALL of the catalog entries, but in my description, I state that
I only have ONE sticker, not 6 of them, and it can be used for any of the sets.

The note might technically get you around the rule that you have to possess everything
in your inventory. However, what happens if two different people buy the sticker
during the night, not knowing that someone else has already bought the only one?

Pick the entry where you think it has the most chance of getting sold.
