Perhaps a collector just got frustrated with how unappealing almost every numerically graded example of this card looks, and based on his resources sprung for one he liked. I've seen AUTHs of certain cards spike very high in the past, in those rare instances when the sheer eye appeal is fantastic.
One normally has to pay six digits for a PSA/SGC 8 of that card, to see one that presents as handsomely.
