yes that price is crazy...
I picked up my only GJ back for $50 a few years back on eBay, and it was EX+/NRMT if not slightly better. But like Leon said they are one of the scarcer backs. Im guessin someone (or at least 2 bidders) just had to have it and didnt want to wait for a good deal (real value price) to come around... they are worth a bit more than $50 now  , but no where near $600+ for a common player in lower grade

Here's my one Green Joyce. Got it raw last year for $300. I thought it was a good deal at the time and don't think they've climbed as far up as that example you linked to but they certainly are hard to find. (sorry for the large scan)

I think the high price is attributable to back scarcity. Several years ago The Standard Catalog listed Green Joyce cards, but had no illustrative example. I mailed them my Bescher card so they could have a depiction. That card is my only Green Joyce. I think there are half a dozen collectors who have a bunch, that there are quite a few of us who have one, and most vintage collectors have none.

I thought it would top out around $400, as it is a nice card for the grade. Three people bid $500+, and my snipe did not even register.
For those chasing the backs, Green-Joyce and Mall Theatre head the most-wanted list for m101-4. The bad news about this auction is that there are apparently at least two others ready to bid large for the next one.
