Please understand I am searching for a copy to share with a friend who lacks internet acess & want to make sure I find an edition with no CGI.

That is the first version with no additional CG, correct.

The "updated" version is called "Dragon Ball: Ultimate Edition" and has different cover art, along with three language tracks - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000VE43GM

It's a 2007 release that's long out-of-print.

I see eBay listings that run the gamut from $30 to $200, with the most recent "sold" listing I can track down being for $90 back in April.

If someone really wants it, well, there are the listings for it right there.
