Discovery Plaza

November 2, 2026

Discovery Plaza is the 1000 square foot forecourt leading to the Card Cyber Museum - a daily exhibition of 60 sports cards waiting to be discovered beneath your feet! Inspired by the forecourt of the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, where celebrities leave their handprints in concrete, our Plaza features digital frames embedded in the ground - beneath bulletproof glass. Each day brings a new rotation of cards showcasing the incredible sets found within the museum. Click any colored text square to flip it and reveal the card front, or click any card image to view full details.

Originally inspired by Piet Mondrian's neoplasticism style with bold primary colors, Discovery Plaza invites you to uncover the stories behind the cards.

When he stole his 300th base in 2024, Jose became the 18th player to group that achievement with at least 200 home runs and 400 doubles. The seven-time AL Silver Slugger Award winner stormed to batting titles in 2014 (.341), 2016 (.338) and 2017 (346).

Named to practically everybody's All-American team, Fred comes to the Raiders highly praised. Gifted with great speed, sure-hands and exceptional moves, Fred will be one of the top rookies to play in the AFL this season. Fred holds practically all of Florida State's offensive records. Among his accomplishments, are most passes caught, most touchdown passes caught, most points scored, and most r...

In 2016, Oakland recorded its first winning campaign in 15 seasons, thanks to the superb play of Carr. The third-year signal-caller helped the Raiders rank in the top 10 in yards and points en route to earning his second consecutive Pro Bowl selection. Derek has a golden labrador named Bruce Wayne

Sylvester Johnson has been a major leaguer since 1922 and today can still step in occasionally and pitch good ball. His duties with the Phillies are coaching and relief pitching and he does both well. Johnson, a smart hurler, has one of the best curve balls in the league and excellent control. Last year he appeared in 22 games, winning 8 and losing 8, and yielding only 15 bases on balls. In his...

Magnus had a pair of three-point games in 2002-03 His single-game best was a four-point game (3 G, 1 A) against Tampa Bay on March 8, 1999.

A capable receiver with a powerful throwing arm, Andy played for 7 straight years with the Phils before coming to the Reds in December of '51. A pro ball player since '40, Andy got his first Big League trial in '43 after hitting .325 for Elizabethton in '42 and .303 for Knoxville in '43. Andy, who hits a long ball, tied 2 NL records in '49 when he hit 3 HR's in 1 game and hit 2 round trippers i...

Here's one way to become a fan favorite - achieve something unseen in your lifetime. That's what Lee did in 2011, his first full season with Philadelphia. The lefty became the club's second southpaw (and the first since Hall of Famer Steve Carlton in 1972) to toss at least six shutouts and post a sub-2.50 ERA.

A cool customer who doesn't get rattled on the bump, Cristian stays ahead primarily on the strength of his off-speed stuff, including an impressive curve and slider. "He's 21 years old, and he acts like he's 30 years old," D-backs skipper Torey Lovullo gushes. "And that goes a long way with me when I'm gonna choose to put somebody in this environment."

When Jim got the call to the big time last year, the outfielder proved he was ready. The youngster is loaded with hustle and desire. Jim spent a full season in a Boston uniform in 1963 because of the first year bonus rule. When he was farmed out to Reading in 1964, the front office assured Jim that he'd be back in Fenway Park shortly. Youngster starred in four sports as school athlete. Jim was ...

Valdemoro Amaya has been a member of Spain's National team since 1993 and played six pro seasons in her homeland before joining the Comets in 1998.

A T-Mobile Home Run Derby title highlighted the 2023 campaign for Vladimir, who continued to sting the ball among the elite. In each of the past four seasons, he's ranked in the 91st percentile or higher for both average and maximum exit velo.

Named the Rookie of the Year in the Carolina League in 1962, Rusty has now solidly established himself as one of the NL's top hitters. In 1967, Rusty set a Houston batting mark as he paced his club with a strong .333 batting average. Traded to Montreal on 1/22/69. In 1967, Rusty led the N.L. with 44 doubles.

Willard hit .254 for 47 games for the Sox in 1954. He's a veteran National Leaguer, and was for many years one of the Giants' best and most popular players. He began in baseball in 1940 and came to the majors in 1942. He spent the next years in service, then returned in 1946. He was involved in a big trade with the Boston Braves in December 1949, then went to the Redlegs in June 1952, and from ...

"Milkman Jim" ended a 23 season pitching career in '47. He joined the Yankee staff in '49 after managing Beaumont in '46 and Portland in '47 and '48. Jim played 12 years of minor league ball before being brought up to the majors by the Braves in '37. He was a rookie at the age of 33 and won 20 games for the Braves his first year. Jim played 3 seasons with the Braves, 3 with the Reds and 4 with ...

The shortest man on the Orioles roster, Curt has played on three All-Star squads in the minors. In 1967, he topped the International League with 70 RBIs playing for the Red Wings. Curt led the Int. League with 72 walks in 1967.

Hit stride at plate last season after two so-so years. Averaged .329 on 174 safeties and drove in 74 runs. This made him 4th top hitter in American league. Fast with good throwing arm. Deadly on fly balls over his head.

In 2023, Paye, born in Guinea, ranked as one of six Colts players and 125 across the NFL of African descent. A year prior, the defensive end visited the continent for the first time as part of a league talent identification camp. "Just being there and experiencing the culture... that's really dope to see," he said.

The 1953 MLB All-Star Game - the 20th renewal - featured an appearance by former Negro Leagues pitching legend Satchel Paige. At 46, he was and remains the oldest player to see action in the classic.

Don't be misled by Scottie's depressed scoring stats; his role simply changed on a deep team. "His value will never be in the boxscore," coach Mike Dunleavy says. "He defends every night, [makes] great reads on defense. He pushes the ball. He makes plays. He's the glue."

"Defense wins, man," says Derek. "When you play shortstop, it has to be your number one priority." Kinda makes one wonder how good a hitter he would be if offense were a priority. Last season, again brilliant with the glove, Jeter also became an explosive weapon at the plate. His streak of reaching base by a hit or walk in the first 53 games was a team record - by a whopping 24, besting Dave Wi...

Always quick to come to a teammate's aid, King notched more than 150 penalty minutes in both of his AHL seasons. The winger made his Blues debut on 10/5/06. He was a sixth-round choice of St. Louis in the 2002 NHL Draft.

"I'm a warrior. I don't think I have anything to prove to anybody. But if I believe in myself. I have something to prove to me." The go-to man on every squad he plays on when healthy, Chris Webber is as dangerous an inside "4" as there is in the game. The Bullets were 30-37 without Webber last season and 9-6 with him in the lineup. "C.Webb" is a natural go-to man with the game on the line becau...

Really hot in '47 with 18 wins, 10 defeats, 113 strike-outs, and a 3.03 ERA. Stopped Yank's 19-game winning streak that year. Stayed in stride last season with 13 wins, 11 defeats, 92 strike-outs and an upped ERA of 4.32. Chalked up a percentage of .542 in 33 games.

The powerfully built youngster had his finest season in the majors last year. Mike had a .288 batting average and 16 homers which placed him second on the Redbirds team only to Orlando Cepeda. Although a fine outfielder, Mike will handle the hot corner in '67. In 1960 Mike led the Southern League in triples. At Memphis he led his league in assists.

Walt is one of most highly regarded rookies to enter BAA this year. Starred four years with Columbia and last winter his play helped Lions to Eastern Intercollegiate League championship. He scored 355 points in 22 games to top EIL scoring and tallied over 1,000 points during four years to set a new Columbia cage mark. Twice named to the All-EIL and All-Metropolitan teams. Played with Great Lake...

The U.S.S. Voyager was pursuing a Maquis vessel on Stardate 48307.5 when both ships were propelled into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker's displacement wave. Captain Kathryn Janeway invited the Maquis crew to join her own, and Voyager began its long journey home. Cut off from Starfleet and the Federation, the crew still found plenty of opportunity to seek out new life and new civilizations. ...

The Raiders obtained this fine signal-caller from the Buffalo Bills. Daryle did a great job for the Bills, sparking them when they were down. He will be fighting for a starting berth at Oakland.

One of AL's outstanding pitching prospects. He was with A's at beginning of 1948 season and appeared in 13 games for them, but he wasn't involved in any decisions. He was optioned to Savannah of Sally League and wound up with a record of 9-3. His ERA was 2.73 and he was credited with 93 strikeouts in 112 innings. Started with Tucson in 1941.

The speedy outfielder blossomed into a full fledged star last season. Matty's .342 batting average earned him the title of National League Batting Champion. His tremendous agility easily enables him to cover the spacious centerfield area in Pittsburgh. Matty also uses his great speed on the base paths. Matty has a .333 World Series batting average. In 1959, Matty led the Eastern League in assists.

John was really 'Johnny-on-the-spot' in '53, appearing in the most games and posting the best Pirate ERA. After winning 16 games for Birmingham in '45 he joined Cincinnati and saw action for the Redlegs in '46, '47 and '48. At Toronto in '51, Johnny led the International League with 19 Victories and was drafted by the Pirates for 1953. John's first start in the Minors got him an injured arm! It...
