Alright Jim! You asked for it...you got it! Here is a copy of an email from oct 26th.

Terry,

No bother, that's why I encourage questions.

Your question sent me scrambling thru both books. The chip is
definitely gray, and is actually darker gray than shown in the picture,
as it is such a dark gray that I had to overlighten it some to get it to
show any detail in the auction picture.

It is definitely the 2nd chip in the TCR, gray with 3 orange inserts and
V3397.

As for value, I screwed up on this one. I get my value info out of
James' book, and he says black on page 281, but is actually real dark
gray. The R6 RARE seems to be right, but the amount should be $30 from
his book, not $60, and I just made a mistake. Ebay won't let me change
it this late.

Sorry for the confusion and good luck if you are interested, as this
chip looks like it has never seen a table........Thanks, Jim

looked it up because the chip shown appears to be navy blue, but the description
says gray. When I looked it up, the gray chip (V3397) is listed as a "D" value
chip. In your description you state a value of $60+ So, you can see my
confusion. Is the chip in the auction navy or gray? Is the TCR number of 3397
correct? TCR is the accepted priceguide, the James c. book is way out of date.>
