If it's the same one,
Woodbury Ct. Nutmeg Auctions.
I was also there. They waited for the eventual buyer to arrive, moving on to other lots after a brief delay then going back to it once he arrived.
I still have the auction catalog somewhere.
What got funny was that the card was a pretty clear f-p, creased and writing on the back. Over the next year it was offered by a string of dealers in SCD, and each time it's grade got better.... Not alterations, just wishful grading. Last ad was I think for 9K and calling it VG.
