CT Box question

[Durdane]

Hello!
First post here. I´m gonna referee Classic Traveller for the first time in a long, long while, and came here looking for inspiration (There´s sure a lot to read here!).
I´ve picked up the 77-rules and most of the supplements to start with. One thing made me curious - I´ve got two boxes (but only one set off LBB´s) that looks identical, save that one of them got "$12" printed in the upper right corner of the lid.
I dont remeber this from my old box (sold many years ago). Does anyone know the story behind this?

Is the back the same on both?

 

[Durdane]

Yes!
I bought both boxes second hand from the same seller, so they might have been mixed up before I got them.
Both lids seem to fit ok with either box though.

Wow, those are in great shape. My traveller box is, well, flatter.

Yes, and the books as well. I´ts almost a shame to use them at the table, but then they´re not much fun just sitting in a bookshelf!

Noble Knight Games shows a 1st Edition box with the $12 price tag just like yours.

There's nothing written on the upper right corner of my 1st edition box.
On my 2nd edition box, there's 301. The back of the box hasn't the same picture on it as yours.

Grab the $10 LWB then instead and use that.

 

[Durdane]

Grab the $10 LWB then instead and use that.

I probably should have done that in the first place.

Mine has the $12 as well and it's probably a 1981 Edition.

For questions like these I usually refer to Wayne's Books but he doesn't shed any light on this particular question:
