A&M lecturer collects
baseball cards as hobby
By MARTY BLAISE
Battalion Reporter
“I’ll trade you two Pete Roses
and a Steve Carlton for your
George Brett.”
Sound familiar?
To George Dysinger of Texas
A&M University it does. His hob
by is collecting and trading base
ball cards.
Dysinger is a lecturer in en
gineering design graphics at Texas
A&M. He holds three degrees
from the University.
Dysinger has been collecting
baseball cards since he was a 10-
year-old little leaguer in Abilene.
“I like to play baseball,” Dysin
ger said. “I always wanted to be a
professional player — that was my
goal. When I was a kid I played all

the time and collected baseball
cards.”
Dysinger said he collects base
ball cards because it is a link be
tween what he is doing now and
what he used to be doing. “I can
still have a bit of my childhood,”
Dysinger said.
Dysinger has two bookshelves
in his duplex. One of them con
tains hundreds of books which
overflow onto the floor. The other
bookshelf contains hundreds of
baseball cards. There are shoe
boxes full of cards and albums with
cards in plastic sheets. Dysinger
estimated his collection at 10,000
cards.
Dysinger said his most valuable
cards are a 1954 Ted Williams, a
1956 Mickey Mantle and a Bow
man Gum card of Phil Rizzuto.
“My goal in collecting is to get
all the baseball cards back to the
1951 Bluebacks (the first cards
that Topps Gum Co. issued),”
Dysinger said. “So I guess that
will mean I’ll have to get all mint
condition cards eventually.
“It’s really amazing that you can
sit down and look through these
cards and look at player’s career.

You can see how consistent or in
consistent he has been.”
Dysinger buys his cards in gum
packages at comer grocery stores.
“It’s sometimes embarrassing to
buy cards at the store,” he said,
“because the lady looks at you and
goes ‘y ou are going to pay for
these, right?’ ”
Dysinger said the best part of
the hobby is getting new cards and
sitting down and looking through
them, one at a time. “It’s also ex
citing to trade and get that one
card you need to complete your
set,” he said.
Dysinger sat back in his easy
chair and told a story about one of
his baseball card experiences:
“On a 1962 baseball rookie para
de card is a guy whose name is Ken
Retzer,” Dysinger said. “He was a
catcher who played in the Amer
ican League from 1962 to 1965.”
Dysinger said he knew a man in
the Texas A&M biology depart
ment whose name was Kent Re
tzer, originally from Illinois.
Dysinger found the baseball play
er was also from Illinois.
“I asked Kent, who looks like
the guy on the card, if it was his
cousin or something,” Dysinger
said.
Dysinger said the man in the
biology department checked with
his dad in Illinois and it turned out
the baseball player on the card,
Ken Retzer, is probably his uncle.
“The best way to start a collec
tion is to start with 1981 baseball
cards and work backwards, a year
at a time,” Dysinger said. “The
further back you go, the more ex
pensive they get.
He said, “A set of 1952 baseball
cards costs $10,000, and you can’t
really call that a kid’s hobby.”

Alan Reyes spends his days
working in a bookstore. At night
he comes home to a one-bedroom
apartment where he lives alone.
His brown eyes sparkle as he
looks fondly at the worn pages of
his old high school annual and
talks of his past, his present, and
what he hopes will be in his fu
ture.

“YOU HA VE A CHOICE”
Reyes is soft-spoken, pausing
between every sentence to gather
his words. He was bom with cere
bral palsy, a condition which left
him with speaking and walking
difficulties.
“When I was little, I used to
look at other children and some
times wish I could be like them,
but I soon learned that wishing
wasn’t good enough and that it
wouldn’t change things,” he said.
He smiles as he describes the
special education school he went
to in his early school days. “The
children there were very shy, but
I never really had any problems
making friends,” he said. The
school, he said, taught him how to
accept his problem.
At 16, Reyes began attending
Arlington Heights High School in
Fort Worth. He became involved
in many of the school’s activities
because he said he has always be
lieved in setting goals for himself
and then working to achieve
them.

advantage of the things I had in
