Serial# is A424 and yes it comes with the box.

Scared me there for a second. The cartridge itself shows A424 on bottom but the box reads 424. I compared to your 000 screenshots and it looks to match as your 000 cartridge also reads A000 on the cartridge itself. My heart was pounding for a minute.

I should have pointed out that there are no letters in the serial numbers on the box but only on the underside of the cartridge.....sorry for the confusion.

It's alright, Louis wasn't really willing to help too much because of the source of my purchase. He only advised that there are no letters in the serial but I assume he was referencing the box as well.

Minor heart attack averted!!
