Several years ago Mastro had a trophy case of Reds balls, but it was determined during the auction that the wooden case wasn't period. It put a cloud over the whole sale. But I never heard anything about a fire.

Rhys- I read your post as 1990; you said 1890. Yes, somebody dug up a newspaper article about an auction of Reds relics; I seem to recall it was in the early part of the 20th century, maybe 1913 or so. The stuff belonged to Harry Wright.
