X-rays of Booster Pack

I think you nailed it! I couldn’t believe we could tell exactly which ship they were, I thought it would be close, but not 100%. Were Royal Oak and Archangelist really identical?

Indistinguishable save for the name on the bottom.

I wish I had access to this when I was standing in the aisle, discount coupon in hand, at the local Borders Books, trying to decide what booster was worth buying. The ever present dilemma, go with the one that weighs more or the one that rattles less??? Sometimes, I just had to go crazy and buy both. A week later, repeat the process when they had restocked.
