Discovery Plaza

August 27, 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.

All-time great of American league. Has never played with any other club except White Sox. Last season - 20th in the big time - hit .314. Season before hit .306. Won bat title in 1936 with mark of .388 and again in 1943 with .328. Holds record for most games played at shortstop and third base - 2,132.

Jim is an excellent rebounder and is also deadly with his unique two hand shot, that he pushes off the heels of his hands. Coming to the Royals after a season with the Lakers, Jim expects to repeat his high scoring ways that made him one of the most exciting college hoopsters in 1955.

Whit, who virtually never takes a day off, is KC a two-time MLB All-Star Game selection who ignites the Royals with steady streams of base hits and stolen bags. He has led the American League in the former twice, and in the latter three times.

Ken was injured for a portion of 1972, he returned to action in the later part of the season and was one of Mets' hottest hitters in September. Ken hit very well on the road, his 3-run Homer at Houston helped Mets to one of their greatest come-from-behind victories. Ken was NY-Penn Roojie of the Year in 1965.

A skater with excellent playmaking skills, Weight led the Oilers in scoring for five consecutive years, from '93-94 to '97-98. And then in '98-99, despite the fact he only played roughly half the season, he still ranked sixth on the team in scoring and third in assists. Weight has made himself valuable to the Oilers not only by his scoring, but also with his puck-handling and great vision on th...

After spending the first three years of his NHL career with the Sabres, Boughner was one of the selections in the June '98 expansion draft and spent '98-99 as one of the original members of the Nashville squad. With his physical presence on the back line and his toughness, which resulted in his fourth straight season with at least 100 penalty minutes, he looks to be a valuable member of the tea...

Looking to improve on recent disappointing seasons, the Patriots took a step in the right direction when they selected Bledsoe with the first overall choice in the 1993 NFL draft. The 6-foot, 5-inch strong-armed quarterback excels as a dropback passer. As a junior at Washington State in 1992, he was named the PAC-10's offensive player of the year and earned first-team all-conference honors.

Tommy had the 4th best Earned Run Average on the Yankee mound staff in '52. He's only been pitching in pro ball since '49 and that year had a 13-8 record for Ventura of the California State League. At Binghamton in '50, Tommy had a 17-8 record and a 3.55 ERA. During the Spring training season of '51, he showed so much stuff that the Yankees brought him up to the AL. He came through, too, winnin...

Roger is coming back to the majors for another try in 1955. This time with the Pittsburgh Pirates. He had a fine record in the Pacific Coast League last year and if he can pitch like that for Pittsburgh he will be a valuable addition to their staff. He was with the Hollywood Stars in 1954 and was a 22-game winner. Roger lost 12 games. He had an excellent Earned Run Average of 2.51, a good test ...

Breaking protocol from the early tobacco and candy cards, the 1916 Sporting News M101-4 set featured photographs of players instead of lithographic art.

Finished third in batting in the league in 1932 with an average of .348 in 154 games and walloped 38 home runs, being tied with Mel Ott of the Giants for the lead in this respect. Chuck Klein is 27 years old, 6 feet tall and weighs 185 pounds; bats left handed, but throws right handed. He began his professional career with Evansville in the Thr...

Became a catcher by accident. Was an infielder with the Chicago White Sox in 1927 when injuries to the catching staff caused manager Ray Schalk to look around for assistance. Berg stepped in and filled the bill. He has been working behind the bat ever since. He is a graduate of Princeton and has also studied law at Columbia University. Born in New York City, March 2, 1902. White Sox bought Berg...

Started as 3rd baseman 11 years ago. Continues today as the Tribe regular and one of the best. A slugger, too, total homers 155, 31 last year to place 3rd in A.L. Clutch hitter, he chalked up 166 hits for a slugging average of .522. Slick fielding rated him a neat .969.

Toronto didn't have to wait long to enjoy a return on its investment after trading for Carter ahead of the 1991 season. The former Cleveland and San Diego star was ready to rake. Facing Boston in the season opener on April 8, he hammered his first longball with his new club in front of a packed crowd at the dome.

Jessie was a strong contributor during her four years at Maryland and ranks fourth all-time for career points, fifth in rebounds and third in blocks. She was named to the AIl-ACC Conference first team in her junior and senior years.

Started his career in baseball in 1934. Reached Newark in 1937 to play 7 games and to then join the Yankees where he has been ever since, except his service in the Coast Guard. He has batted as high as .320. Last season he averaged .287 and led the league in triples (13). He has played in three World Series. He's quite a piano player and sings pretty well, too.

After starting the '52 season at Miwaukee, Johnny moved up to the Braves early in the campaign and ended up leading NL shortstops in Fielding. He hit .331 for Evansville in '47, his 1st year in pro ball. In '48 Johnny hit .324 for Pawtucket and for Milwaukee in '49 and '50 had marks of .286 and .296. He split '51 between the Brewers and Braves and that year set an American Association record fo...

Fournier showed off his clutch gene multiple times throughout the 2018-19 campaign. On Nov. 5, the guard nailed a jumper as time expired to push the Magic past the Cavaliers. A little more than a month later against the Pistons, he drained a floater at the buzzer to lead his squad to a triumph.

A defensive superstar, Holiday showed what he can do on the other end of the court on April 3, 2021 against Sacramento as he scored a season-high 33 points and added 11 assists. Still getting it done on D, he chipped in a block and a steal to help his team pick up a 129-128 win.

Henry played for Los Angeles and San Diego following graduation from U. of Dayton where he led the Flyers to a number of holiday and postseason tournaments. Acquired by the Celtics, he played more minutes, attempted more field goals, made more, & bettered his rebounding and assists marks in 1969-70 than he had in the 3 previous seasons.

Although Latrell's PPG dropped a couple of ticks, the Warriors were so thrilled with his maturity they named him a co-captain in mid season. "He's a better all-around player than he used to be," said Coach Rick Adelman. "He's just learning what he can do."
