Classic Records Deluxe 1S Edition LP box, Serial no. 218, NEW/SEALED/MINT

IMPORTANT NOTE: Serial no. 218 is also attached to a Classic Records "1S Brit Box," containing ten RCA LPs recorded with British orchestras, as well as a deluxe RCA/Soria Ansermet/Royal Ballet Box. (In 1994-1995 Classic offered subscribers a chance to pick up the same serial number of each issue.)
BOTH of those other boxes are also for auction at this time, so be sure to check "Seller's other items" if you're interested in the set!
This auction is for Classic Records' 1994 issue of the first ten titles of their first RCA reissue series. The box itself was delivered open, but all LPs inside are sealed, with no compromises of the perforations. The box contains two letters from Michael Hobson and Ying Tan, Classic's founders, as well as the original, untouched cassette of "The Living Stereo Story" that was packed in the box. In addition, there are two pressings of LSC-2456, since the initial repressing may have contained a label and/or pressing error. (See letter.) Since the LPs are still sealed I don't know whether it contains the error, but the initial repressing and the correction are labeled using glorious analog-only technology (otherwise known as a Post-It note).
The box is serial no. 218. There is a sticker on the rear of the box, and every LP also contains a serial number 218 sticker.
This box has been stored in a plastic sleeve, vertically, in a temperature-controlled room since purchase. In every way the box and the 11 LPs inside are original and in as-new condition. As you can tell from the plastic wrapping, EVERY photo in this posting is a photo of the actual box and the actual LPs for auction in their original packing sleeves. None of these photos are stock.
