I would say the likely scenario is Pristine Auctions does not have possession of this item. These second and third rate auction houses often allow dealers to put items in their auctions with hidden reserves etc and they go around and around in their auctions and if eventually they sell for a price the dealer is happy with they will drop ship to the buyer. But if not they keep going around. I see this crap all the time. It's bush league.

Just to be clear, I didn't win the eBay auction. I didn't even bid. For the 1960 and 1961 sets, I am still just bottom feeding, with the one exception of a '61 Ted Williams. (For 1963, I have signed versions of 63 of 66 cards, so I have dropped some coin on several cards. But, even then, not to the tune of $685.)
But, to the subject matter, the Pristine auction does say
"This item is being shipped from an approved vendor's location", so I assume you are right that Pristine is just fronting for Probstein. Thanks for the input.
