It was actually won by a guy who just sniped me at the end. He had a ton of feedback and only 1% with Rick. With the post on the main board, I am a bit paranoid right now and wasn't sure if this was just a coincidence and someone new who really wanted Roy or if I should be a bit perplexed at how it climbed so much from $25 to $79 in last hour.

I had my heart set on getting this card and it is now back to the drawing board, so I am probably just sulking but if this is the kid of activity that many are speaking about then I will know to avoid in the future.
While the middle bidding might look shady, the ending looks like a typical eBay auction with all of the real action taking place in the last minute or two. What should this card have sold for?
