Or was the high bidder just trying to snipe people out so he can win with this insane bid.

It's because it's in a fancy little plastic box.

Yeah, he had it graded by an expensive service, and if you have that grading, they stick it in that box and allow you to charge whatever extortionate rate you'd like, if you want the serious answer.

As Scourge said, it's AFA graded.

It would be more convenient for you if you know the following equation.

MISB G1+AFA Graded = Insane amounts of money

That box is sealed tight soo whatever condition it was when it went in the box is the same condition you are going to get if you purchase it.

Except that it'll probably be jostled around inside the box during shipment.

It wouldn't matter what they were graded if people didn't pay those kinds of prices.
