The 3.4mil card, I could find no info on, so, more than likely, it was a private sale.

Thanks for posting that link.

Yes it was a private sale. There are a lot of high dollar items that change hands in private. It is fascinating to hear and learn about. Obviously this part of the market is out of reach for most collectors but even lower priced items that are rare change hands frequently at prices that would shock those that follow public auctions.
