I was peripherally involved in the production of this box set back in 1990 (you can see I get a name check just below Lisa Law on the inside of the box top - as shown in the 1st pic in that listing).

There were 1970 unnumbered boxes and 30 numbered boxes. From memory the numbered ones all had extra goodies - it looks to me as if the "extra" in this box is:

Went for 3300.A US poster dealer bought it.Let me tell you a little story.I still dont believe in those mint copies of the Trip poster around. I bought my first copy in Mill Valley(VILLAGE MUSIC) from the owner in 1993.The copy was stapled on the ceiling,covered with cellophane for more than 2 decades.Yellowed at the limit but surely original.The guy never sold a poster from the ceiling before(there were lot of rare ones over there)so the story made some noise between dealers also because I paid $1500 for it.This was just before the poster fair in SF. The year after just a month before the poster fair in SF somebody "found" around 50 copies in a basement in LA.It was a pretty strange coincidence.Dealers flying from NY to La to get some,a LA poster gallery got some, Andrew(at the time big Velvet dealer) got the rest. 50% had ink problems,some black from the lettering.But they were all in great conditions,no yellowing on the borders,like they were preserved properly or just printed...At the fair I got a mint copy from the LA gallery,traded for 1000 bucks.after few months one copy sold at Sothebys for 5000 pounds.but that doesnt count.the price fixed around 3000 for the mint & 1500/2000 for the ones with defects.Of course I confronted the 2 copies I was maybe the only one that could do it properly .Same paper, dimensions, ink...but still some doubt.how could it be after 28 years in a basement no mould,yellowing(at least around)etc?A friend of mine use to say"too good is suspicious"by the way I sold my mint copy few years ago & kept my old yellowed copy framed on my wall.
