Rats' recollection of the '89 UD debate here is much more accurate than anyone else's. Anyone who doesn't doesn't agree with how hot the Jerome Walton was in mid-late '89 either has an awful memory (or wasn't involved in the heart of the junk wax era, in any "region")
I have a July 1990 Beckett in front of me right now. This was well after the '89 UD Ext Zeile, Jim Abbott, and Walton had really cooled off. Prices:
Griffey: up to 18.00, Abbott down to 7.00, and Walton down to 7.50, and Zeile down to 6.50.
So for those who don't remember, the proof is there (about how those cards were on a similar level in months prior). I may see if I can find another Beckett from late '89 and compare more
