Default Jimmie Foxx Autographed Card - Auction House Mystery

I need someone to help me understand something that has me confused. By way of background, I am working on signed versions of cards of 1960 through 1963 Fleer baseball.

While it is generally a bit much for my wallet, I saw this signed 1961 Fleer Jimmie Foxx sell on eBay last night for $685.88 (seller is Probstein):

I was wandering around Pristine Auctions today and found this current auction for a 1961 signed Foxx:

The thing that is confusing me is it is apparently the same card because the PSA authentication number is exactly the same. I understand that Probstein's business practices are the subject of some controversy. But, for the life of me, I really don't understand what is going on here and what the advantage is. I would appreciate any enlightenment.
