|
| I have a LEGO green baseplate with 16 x 21 studs, which does not seem to exist
on Bricklink (one size smaller is 16 x 18 and one bigger is 16 x 22). It is a
genuine LEGO baseplate, which is not cut, not broken or damaged whatsoever so
I'm wondering to which set this baseplate might belong. I suspect something
from Fabuland 3664 since I have other bricks from this set, but I'm not sure.
Can someone help me out? Picture is uploaded.

Maybe it's just a misprint and made it through quality control...

| Since authenticity isn't discussed, I find it plausible that a defective
16x22 escaped the factory in the '70

These were cut in the factory.
I do not know if it was done by an employee with a ‘cuttingmachine’ but maybe
it was miscalculated.
So a really nice survivor.

If it most likely was cut by Lego I think you can but let others correct me if
I am wrong.
A lot of these older baseplates have a more white stressmark on the thin side
from the cut made in the Lego factory.
They were cut into shape from a very large plate.
So if you sell it make sure the size is very visible in your description to make
sure a potential buyer can read it and after selling make sure they really DID
read it since you can only put it on Bricklink like:
1) a custom item (not found easily)
2) at the entry of baseplate 16x22 studs, buyers can find it there but you need
tombe sure they know they are buying the 16x21 studs.
Pricewise? I wouldn’t know, maybe a few €’s more than the standard baseplate
or you can ask in this forum for a very interested member and reserve it for
a price you agreed on.

It is not a 16x22 plate, and no way you can prove it to be a misprint of it.

| Yeah. Listing as a custom item probably is best here, so the customer really
knows what size they are getting. Baseplates can be manually cut and finished
to look quite professional even if the cut is not exactly the same as when done
officially. Proving it was genuinely made/supplied like that may be difficult.

Misprint? There is not thing printed on it
It's a misCUT. Baseplaets are vacuum formed in large sheets and then cut
to size. It's not even TLG who makes these, it's an outside company allthough
I'm not sure if they cut them too?
It's not the first time a non-standard baseplate have turned up 
Cheers,

| Before venturing in selling it, first thing to do is a deep inspection with magnifier/microscope/light
etc
If it happens that the part ID is for 16x16 baseplate, it would be a complete
different case, don't you think?
Better yet, what if it's an unknown ID?
