Don't underestimate the value of a bidding war. The price on that card was so amazingly obscene, how or why could there be any funny business going on with it? It sold for a significant multiple of what 9s sell for (and they come up frequently enough). Legitimate cards do often sell for crazy prices, vintage and modern.

We have a Tiger Woods PSA 10 SI for Kids card that once sold for $125,000, and two Michael Jordan rookie cards in BGS 10 that both sold for over $100k -- seems to me that this 1962 topps may be a blip for a deep pockets collector or two who got into a bidding war.
