Agreed - but this isn't a $500-$5000 lot that someone tends to try to swoop in and grab. I've participated in a ton of these and though you're 100% correct in not knowing if that person would have bid in those final 7 minutes experience tells me the lot was dormant for 2 days (not unusual) but also from 9m to 12:03am (suspect that zero bids but someone MIGHT have wanted to lace a bid over 100k in those final 7 minutes).
I get the nuance and the 'nobody knows for sure' I just sympathize for the guy who got sniped at noon today on a card he most likely (not guaranteed) was going to win..... maybe he came over the to and ultimately won the card. Great DiMaggio too!
