I assume you've read some of the old threads at Aeclectic Tarot.
It was first published in 1979 so that's the first edition. There were two early boxes, one brown the other blue; both have lift-off lids rather than lids that tuck. I'm not sure sure anyone knows for sure which one is the earliest; hopefully someone will come along and prove me wrong.
There's a version with black borders on the cards though these are pretty rare; sometimes it's said these came first. But in Vol. 3 of his Encyclopedia, Suart Kaplan says a borderless version came first; then black borders were added which were subsequently dropped and they went back to no borders.
