Well, there were a lot of sets in the 1970's that had those 10x20 green (1 brick
thick) baseplates with the tubes around the bottom inside edge. Several sets come
to mind immediately - 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 110, 111, 112, 113, 114, 148, 149. Back
in the 1960's the grey 10x20 was the most prevalent baseplate. In the 1970's it
was the green 10x20. The green ones were also available (as item 700E) in several
different service pack packages of baseplates. Back in the 70's (I think) they
were packaged 2 (different colors) to a pack. Grey & White, Blue & Red, and Green
& Yellow were the colors packaged together.
There are a few other sets from the 1970's (or later) that had these green
baseplates.

| Gary, I was reading your post today in RTL about the history of LEGO plates, and thinking about this thread. I thought to myself, "I'll be Gary has the real scoop on the 10x20 plates." :) Do you know when exactly the tubes were added to the inner (...) (25 years ago, 23-Aug-99, to lugnet.general)
