Just recently purchased this and wanted to share since it's a bit of an oddity.
 
Part No: 2552px3  Name: Baseplate, Raised 32 x 32 with Ramp and Pit with Blue Water and Dark Gray Stones Pattern
* 
2552px3 Baseplate, Raised 32 x 32 with Ramp and Pit with Blue Water and Dark Gray Stones Pattern
Parts: Baseplate, Raised {Light Gray}
The part was flipped the wrong way when the rocks were printed on it. Resulting
in both sides being printed, and the top missing a partial print. I haven't
seen anything quite like it before and am surprised it exists, made it past quality
control and survived 30 years to today intact.

I wonder how in the world that happened. Cool find, thanks for sharing.

Could they be painted before being pressed into form?
Or are they not “stamped”
like other parts?
Weird.

Weird.

I assume they are decorated before forming. The continuous printing on the curved
edges is too good to be printed afterwards.
