Don't overlook them...

Take a look at all the individual serial numbers. They're two sets of four-digit "numbers". For being four digits long, they're all relatively close to each other. Why do you think that is? Do you recognize those types of numbers?

It has nothing to do with video games.

Yah. I was pretty sure I knew where to look, but now I'm stumped too.

I could use a nudge to narrow it down

So as someone relatively new to C&C, this is awesome. I did have one question though, does this mean anything to the veterans here? I'm just wondering if I'm missing out on anything since I haven't finished my catch-ups yet, or if this is something still to be discovered.
