Discovery Plaza

April 13, 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.

The "Deadeye Dick" of the court, Jack is one of the game's finest shooters. In six years of pro activity, he has never finished with a shooting mark below 42 per cent. He led the league in field goal percentages in the 1958-59 season, hitting 465 of 1,028 for a .452 percentage. He was second in 1959-60, when only Wilt Chamberlain's 2707 points topped his 2338. He holds the record for most point...

Pedro was acquired by Cincinnati during the winter to beef up their bullpen. Pedro's hobby is cock fighting!

One of the most feared clutch hitters in Baseball, Sid is consistently near the top of the list in Home Runs and RBI's.

Green Bay hasn't always sported green. The team preferred navy and gold early in its history and didn't permanently go with its iconic color scheme until the 1950s. Rolling with throwback threads in Week 9 of 2024, Jacobs rumbled to 95 yards on 13 carries in a divisional bout against Detroit.

George McQuinn, one of the leading batsmen of the American League this year, made his start in 1930 with Wheeling.

After his monumental 2001 season, Luis earned trips to the All-Star Game in '02 and '03. Gonzo rose to prominence in 1999, bashing .336-26-111 for Arizona. In '01, he hit .325 with 57 homers. More importantly, he singled in the winning run in the ninth inning of Game 7 of the World Series.

Clark Kent wants desperately to know - who is he? Is he the world-conquering ruler his biological father Jor-El wants him to be - or the straight-arrow son of Jonathan Kent, his adoptive father? Is Lana the only girl for him, or is there room in his life for Chloe? And just how should he deal with the suspicions that Lex Luthor and his ruthless father Lionel have about the secret he hides?

Gilles went to the Soviet Union to study Russian goaltenders last summer, and he's hopeful to make his first season in New York a successful one for the Rangers. Gilles has a liking for classical music.

1960 was the year that Brooks developed into one of the finest 3rd baseman in either league. He excels with the glove or with a bat. Oriole scouts signed Brooks as soon as he graduated from school. He hit more HR's in '60 than in all his other seasons combined.

Atley Donald, the freshman right-harder who won 12 straight before he was beaten in 1939, didn't do much hurling for the Yankees last year. Hampered most of the season by a bad back, Donald appeared in only 24 games, but he managed to compile a winning percentage with 8 won and 3 lost. His earned-run-average of 3.03 indicates that the Southern moundaman has lost none of his efficiency. He was u...

Following a brief acclimation period to big-league pitching in 2022, Adley booked a .924 OPS and ripped 32 extra-base hits over a 60-game span beginning June 10. He also rated among the top five catchers in Baseball in pitch-framing and pop time. Not coincidentally, the Orioles went 38-22 during that stretch to surge into the thick of the AL Wild Card race.

Talk about "old faithful," Bill led Minnesota in rushing last year again. The powerhouse back holds the club records for career yardage in rushing and with 40 TD's scored. Bill was acquired in a trade from the Chicago Bears. Bill was 2nd in the N.F.L. with 11 touchdowns in 1968.

Powers/Abilities: Crystallia can animate and manipulate the four basic "elemental" substances: earth, air, fire, and water, either individually or in various combinations.

One of the big reasons for the failure of the Giants to repeat their pennant-winning ways in '52 was the loss of Willie to the Service early in the campaign. The NL's "Rookie of the Year" in '51, Willie's career is brief but brilliant. He .353 for Trenton in '50, his first year in pro ball. Promoted to Minneapolis in '51, Willie was hitting at a .477 pace before the Giants called him up. With t...

Bob is another of the former Dodgers on the Cubs' roster. He appeared in an even 50 games for the Windy City crew in 1952, and hit .284.

John was drafted in '57 as an offensive end but didn't make the squad. He returned in '58 as a free agent and won spot as tackle. Moved to guard in '63.

One of greatest players in baseball. Only National Leaguer to win Most Valuable Player award three times - 1943, 1946 and 1947. Started baseball as pitcher, but shoulder injury stopped that. His stance at bat is something to see. Winding up like a windmill he has made season averages of .347 and .357. Last season, for third time in his major league career, he led NL in batting with .376 average...

Coleman led the Nets in scoring (19.9 ppg) and rebounding (108 rpg) at the 1995 All-Star break but entered the midpoint of the season suffering from a chip fracture in his pelvic bone. Due to injuries, Coleman has yet to play a full 82-game season in his NBA career.

Joined the Pittsburgh Pirates in 1948 and caught 102 games as a rookie, hitting .267. Spent 1950 with In...

A capable manager, "Jimmy" Dykes was a brilliant infielder in his prime as a player. He started playing back in 1918 with the Philadelphia Athletics, and was active as late as last year, a period of 22 years. Dykes played every infield position, even first. but second or third were his usual hunting grounds. He was not a terrific average hitter but one of the most dangerous men in the league. H...
