Here is what I think - I think the buyer bought this two years ago for around $7.5mm. I think he decided to sell it and got his ass handed to him.no conspiracies or back room deals.
If you are a big enough boy to plunk down $7.5mm on a card then you gotta be a big enough boy to lose your lunch on a $7.5mm card. Plain and simple.

Agree with most of this here but I think we all know that a consignor and the consignment of a multi-million dollar card or collection is going to be handled and treated entirely differently than a consignor and the consignment of a $1500 card or collection.
As for this Heritage sale, someone from Heritage did post earlier in this thread that the card has no reserve and would be sold but if you read Heritages' rules, they and the consignor can bid on their own consignments.
