I was a bidder in the first auction when this was offered and was interested in bidding in this one if there was any suggestion that it could be real, which is why I wanted to know more info to begin with.

Right. I believe those who bid were at the very least willing to take the gamble. My suggestion in the future would be to do your investigative work privately (inquire with the seller, ask around privately on this board, count on the sellers 30 day return policy, etc). It’s just frustrating when you finally locate a gem, look forward to it all week, and then read about it on here the day of. End of the day it’s not your fault, I should have gone higher. I’m a huge Jackie collector and just bummed. If the winner is on here I’d purchase it from you for $875
