Apple didn't sell "Upgrade Only" copies of 10.2 in Retail Boxes, only
full releases (pretty sure).
On Mac OS X v.10.4 & 10.5 "Upgrade Only" DVDs (shipped as a drop-in
kit with systems that were assembled and boxed after the OS releases
but sold afterwards) the installer does a check to verify what the
currently installed OS is before running. This was also the case with
the Mac OS X v.10.1 Upgrade discs handed out for free (or the cost of
shipping and handling), back in 2002.
