Bit of a price drop, I'd say
I was going to have a different title and content when I first started, because I thought these were the same card with "improvements". Seems they are close but different. Anyway, the first of these sold 8 months ago in Goodwin for $2499, and the second, slightly nicer one sold last night for $321, also in Goodwin.
    Same seller so presumably same customer base, less than 8 months apart, same condition and grade, scarce series so no worries about huge supply out there (these may be the only two). Hmmm. Also a little odd that the first one had a minimum bid of $500 yet last night's started at $150, when the history would suggest it would go for much, much more. I"m not trying to go all Spaeth here,  I just find these results interesting. Maybe there were only two guys battling for the first one and now the patient one reaps his reward--who knows?

It shouldn't matter, as both were listed and advertised as Green-Joyce by Goodwin in the auctions, but you bring up a good point--the first has all the puffery and extremely rare description while the second makes no mention of that:

One wonders why Bill didn't include a similar description the second time? Even if no longer the only one certainly still rare.

So, even though it "shouldn't" matter there is a chance that whomever purchased the second card, theoretically, "could" send it back in so as to get a new flip with Joyce on it and that "might" up the price if they wanted to sell it?
David No, I don't own the card or know who does. Just wondering......

I think the answer is that with the number of Green Joyce cards in the auction bidders realized that this back is not as rare as previously thought. The cards were weak compared to prior levels across the board.
