Hi, all--

After some digging around, I have located the MSRP for the 50x50 Gray Baseplate, numbered 079.

According to the 1966 LEGO/Samsonite catalog, they sold for $1.50 USD each. Such a deal!

Granted, the 079 was first sold as the 799, but for some reason Samsonite changed the numbering toward the end of the decade.

This may well fall into the “who cares” category, but for those of us who have one, it’d be nice to update the MSRP in the database.

Play Well and Prosper,

Matthew Crandall “The Brick Detective”
