Discovery Plaza

April 9, 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.

Leading base stealer of the American. League in 1934 was Billy Werber, Boston Red Sox third baseman. Though speed of foot is essential in base stealing, Werber's close study of opposing pitchers' habits is his greatest asset.

One of the things that is lost because of his fabulous playmaking skills is the fact that Stockton is a terrific three-point shooter.
