Can a seller come in with answer on difference between standard ($5) and Retro ($8). Question's been asked repeatedly and nobody knows. Packaging?

The "retro" is much more accurate answering questions about things that happened in the past.

Does this 8 ball have a seam around it like the other 8 ball for sale on here (the best seller 8 ball) has been said to have?

yes it has a seam or joint around the circumference . I love to ask questions of the magic ball even though I know the answer is random! I discovered this helps me find out what I really want because the yes, no or maybe will give me a different emotional reaction.

Is there liquid inside? Do you need to click a button for the answer?

Yes there is liquid. No you do not need to click a button.

Is this as heavy as the one in the 70's? I had one growing up and it was heavier than the ones nowadays...looking for the heavier one

The shipping weight is 2 ounces.
