Discovery Plaza

April 8, 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.

Michael returned to racing last season after suffering injuries in a crash at Nazareth in 1990. The New York native won the 1990 IMSA 24 hours of Daytona, Camel Lights Division.

Preventing Corley from finding open grass is imperative for any defense. A speedster with the ball in his hands, the wideout poses a threat to take every reception to the house. One cut and he's gone, leaving a trail of defenders in his wake as he sprints toward paydirt.

George, John, Paul and Ringo get some last minute instructions from the movie's director. The boys didn't need very much direction in front of the camera and seemed like old pros once the film started to roll.

One of the leading contenders for the ace of the Royals staff is hard-throwing Roger Nelson. Last year, the right-hander won two games as a starter & two games as a reliefer for Baltimore. He was drafted by the Royals in '68. Roger once struck out 22 batters in a 14 inning game in 1964.

Triston smacked six homers in a 14-game span in April 2024, including a 429-foot shot against the Diamondbacks. The patient slugger regularly ranks among the best in Baseball in walk rate and chase rate.

Its AAA Flamed Top finished in Heritage Cherry, Vintage Cherry Back and Neck and brilliant nickel hardware, have made this model Les Paul, truly a standard that every other guitar in the world has had to follow.

THE BEST HITTER I'VE EVER SEEN by Solly Hemus. While playing with Houston in the Texas League in 1947, I first saw Stan Musial hit. Knowing he was a great hitter I watched him very closely. After he had hit a few balls on a line, he got under one a little bit and practically drove it out of sight. His reflexes are his biggest asset. With his great wrists and reflexes he can still hit line drive...

Bud Thomas became the property of the Washington Senators in 1932, but was farmed out to Youngstown the same year, winning 20 games for Youngstown and losing only 7. He was recalled in 1933 by the Senators but again returned to the minors, pitching for Chattanooga, Albany and Wheeling. Bud started the 1934 season with Williamsport but toward the end of the season was sent to Atlanta, and pitche...

Lenny is one of the most sensa- tional runners to hit the NFL in many years. He's like a bolt of lightning as he streaks down the field with the ball cradled in his arms. Lenny had the best NFL ground-gaining average last year.

This will be John's 4th season in the coaching box for the Cardinals. Before joining the Redlegs in '52, he coached Pittsburgh for 3 years and before that was the pilot of Birmingham. As a player, John saw 21 years service and played with the Braves, Redlegs, Pirates and White Sox. His greatest season as a player was in '43 when he caught for Indianapolis and hit .330.

The "Funkasaurus" is rarely seen without Cameron and Naomi; but when he does stand alone, he does so as one of the most intimidating men in WWE. Don't let the dancing fool you - Brodus is an absolute beast in the ring and can mix it up fearlessly with any competitor.

The space age influenced consumer design in the late 1950s and Gibson answered with the Flying V, Explorer and Futura. Constructed of Korina, a rare African mahogany, the 1958 Flying V changed the look of rock and roll. One of the hardest instruments to reissue, the Flying V has been meticulously reproduced using original specifications for all components, including the neck joint, tailpiece, G...

Paul was a 19-year-old pre-NHL Olympian when Sweden took the 1994 gold medal from Canada in a shootout. At 23, he was a sidelined concussion victim when Canada came up short in the '98 Winter Games. But good things do come to those who wait. Kariya was 27 when Canada beat Team USA on 2/24/02 to win Olympic gold with a 5-2 victory.

Eddie, one of the best defensive infielders in the American League, could be called "The Walking Man." He led the American League in drawing bases on balls during 1952 with 129. He was in a batting slump most of year, hitting only .233. He's capable of a better average as his preceding years show. In 1951 he hit .283 and in 1950 batted .295. He's never played in minors.

One of the mose dangerous shooters on the Sabres, Jim led all Buffalo marksmen with 12 power play goals last season.

A former rookie of the year and most valuable player in the Central League, Jim has played with three other NHL teams. He has one of the league's hardest shots. Jim can play all 3 forward posit...

Four trips to Greenland while in the Navy prepared Robert Edwin Peary for his most ambitious and rewarding journey: to the top of the world.

After pitching in pro ball since 1953, George "arrived" last year as he finished with the 4th best earned run average in the A. L. George won 14 games for Little Rock in 1957

Although he's strong enough to mix it up inside, Davidson has a strong game fading away from the basket. Playing with his back to the basket, he can turn either way and hit the turnaround jumper.

Rhett had nothing else to prove after torching the top three Minor League levels in his inaugural professional season in 2024. The SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game selection tallied 9.4 SOS/9 IP along with a 6-4 record, 3.64 ERA and miniscule 5.4% walk percentage in 22 starts on the farms. He was called up to make his first Reds start on August 30.

Stormin' Gorman Thomas is one of baseball's most exciting performers. He is a premier home run slugger and a gifted defensive outfielder with excellent speed and a fine arm. Originally signed by the Brewers in 1969 when they were the Seattle Pilots, he spent six seasons in the minors and was even briefly traded away to Texas before making the majors. It was a spectacular season at Spokane in 19...

There are many words that can describe Chourio's debut season in the bigs (2024), when he became the first 20-year-old rookie to produce a 20-homer, 20-steal campaign. Exceptional. Remarkable. Outstanding. The outfielder likes to keep things simple, however, so he opted for brevity over verbosity. "Bueno," he said.

The Bucs boasted one of the game's best do-it-all backs in James Wilder in the 1980s. Doing his best impression of the team legend, Irving shined in all facets against the Falcons in Week 8 of 2024. The rookie toted the ball nine times and logged a season-high seven receptions in the classic creamsicle fit.
