Yes, I won this with a snipe at 5 seconds. "Thin to win's" bid was at approx. 11 seconds (last second snipes are typically placed at 10 seconds and less). If it was an attempted shill, it could have been placed (1) to get the then lowest bidder up to a his/her highest price or (2) to insure that the card would not sell for too low an amount (in other words, it would either not sell, or, s/o with a snipe set high enough would win it at the end at the desired price. While they very well could have been trying to win the card, it seems strange.
