sorry i meant to say this
xxxx/xxx/x = shipping box #/unit#/?#0-9

i have 2 boxs/games to support this theory if you look at database it also supports it. (this gives a great way to see if boxs match games!)
this answers too my question in other forum about cgl game in standard box)

Hi, most of the time the serials match the box, or are very close, but sometimes they don't, even when new, but there very close, I suspect they were probably packages individually in the early years with lesser numbers of production, but as things got more hectic and production no's grew you can see the box number does not always = the game, but in 99% or cases it's very close.
