That's amazing - I recently paid about £20 for a Japanese boxed copy of green in very average condition.
A bit of trivia --
In Japan Red and Green were the launch titles -- blue was initially only available exclusively through mail order for subscribers of a Japanese comic and it had various improvements to tilesets / sound effects.
The Red and Blue versions we eventually got were based on the 'improved' Japanese Blue. I believe that Red and Blue were chosen over Green for the west because they're more appealing to kids.
