| Part number 53588pb01 is a raised baseplate piece in the color dark bluish gray
with red marbling. The entry lists this part being contained in 5 sets. Four
of which were released in the year 2006 and one in the year 2008. The last set
is called 'Coast Guard Patrol Boat & Tower'. I believe that the version
of this part from that set should have a separate entry (with part number 53588)
as it has no red marbling. The database on rebrickable already distinguishes
between these variations so I am not alone in considering them different in this
way.

There was a thread on this a couple of years back. Bricklink used to distinguish
between the 4 items in Bionicle sets as being marbled and the one from 7739 as
being solid Dark Bluish Gray. However, I had purchased a dozen of the supposed
DBG versions, and all were marbled at least a little bit.
So at the behest of the inventory admin I sent messages to every seller who had
the item listed. We could not locate a single item that was solid DBG. Some have
a reddish color mixed in, others don't, but all were marbled -- and as
with many marbled pieces, the marbling is not consistent.
The "pictures" on Rebrickable are just renders, not actual photographs, and I
believe Rebrickable still lists that as a separate part for set 7739 only because
Bricklink used to, and Rebrickable has not updated the entry since the change
on Bricklink.
If you have evidence of a solid non-marbled Dark Bluish Gray 53588, please provide
clear pictures from every angle, including from the underside. Otherwise, this
seems to be an error from when 7739 was originally inventoried.

Upon further inspection, I have found red marbling on mine which I previously
assumed to be from the latter set. It is very minimal and hard to notice if not
in direct light but it is there. I suspected them all to be marbled but perhaps
some excluded red but no, that is not the case it seems.
Mine has a 2005 date underneath and I suspect they were all manufactured then.
I suppose I was just lucky to get an especially gray one and the official set
photos of 7739 mislead me.
