Well, there is another exception of course, but it's rather current...
The Soccer baseplate, 48x48 green...
This was a flat baseplate, with printing, I don't think it had any
unstudded area (i.e. not a custom mold). It could easily have been a
non-TLC printing on a standard LEGO grey baseplate, or it could be a
custom order (even if the kit wasn't sold by DACTA or whatever). It most
definitely was NOT the Samsonite road plate (the non-studded area on
that just would not have worked with the excercise).
Of course it could be totally non-LEGO at all...
