I’m not going to cut my old 50x50, instead I think I might use an old 32x32
“moon surface” baseplate.  I have three, all are old and yellowing and when
I was a kid I colored in the craters of two of them with a black permanent
marker. I never use these, so, unless the “moon surface” baseplates are
super rare, I think I will just cut up the worst one of the three to get my
8x16 light gray baseplate. But then again, I might just go out and buy a new
48x48 or something smaller an cut it.

Any comment, suggestions or oppositions are appreciated

Well it's done! Today I went out and got a new 48x48 baseplate and used it
to cut a 8x16 light gray baseplate. Thanks to everyone for your replies,
comments and ideas, they helped me decide what to do. I think I will try to
clean up my old "moon surface" and 50x50 baseplates and hold on to them.
Even though I don't use them now, one never knows when those older or unused
Lego parts will come in handy.
