Hello!

I bet you that more than half of the bricks marketed here on BL as 3009p01 are
in fact 3009p01e.

Isn't that a problem for a market place?

I have been buying several lately and always I have received the brick with embossed
print.
At the same time the surface print 3009p01 is said by BL to be included in 19
sets, whereas 3009p01e isn't appearing in any set at all. The brick with
embossed print is (probably) more plentiful on the market but it shouldn't
appear in any set?

I think BL could resolve this by inserting in those 19 inventory lists the 3009p01e
as an alternative part?

It would stop the potential for disputes between byers and sellers and diminish
aggravation.

At the same time I think BL should instruct the sellers on BL to learn the difference
between surface print and embossed print, so that they could label their products
correctly.
