Discovery Plaza

December 19, 2025

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.

Bob won the Pacific Coast League Batting Championship in '52 and also ranked 2nd in the League with 33 Stolen Bases. He entered organized baseball in 1950 with Colorado Springs of the Western League and batted .373, batting in 89 runs in 42 games. He was brought up by the White Sox at the end of the '51 season for a trial after hitting .342 for Sacramento of the P.C.L.

Legends persist across the globe about demigods from outer space who left three stones of power in remote places - stones, which when combined, will grant their owner the wisdom of the Universe. If the powerful and the greedy shall unite them, they will drive the world to famine, war, and the Earth's ultimate destruction. Oddly, these stones each bear a symbol that looks positively... Kryptonian.

The Astros have another potential top-of-the-rotation arm in Hunter, who features three bat-dodging pitches. In 2023, he became just the fifth Houston rookie with double-digit wins and 150+ strikeouts.

After a halting start in 2022 following his spectacular '21 season, Julio went on one of his patented tears of unbeatability. In a dozen starts from June 12 to August 15, he went 10-1 with a 2.08 ERA.

Darin is one of baseball's most intense competitors - at the plate, in the field and on the bases. In his epic 2000 season, he cracked .355 with 240 hits, 121 runs and a record 100 leadoff RBI. In '02, he rapped 352 in the postseason, won his second Gold Glove and topped 20 steals for the fifth time.

Has the second-most Wins Above Replacement of any pitcher drafted by the Yankees this century. He wore Mario cleats in May that said. "Nasty Nestor."

Batting Tips - Be Relaxed. Walker is an example of a batter who stands easily and perfectly-relaxed at the plate. To get results against curve pitching and change of pace, batters must have complete freedom of movement. The waist and wrists are the pivotal points of the batting swing, and any tendency to tighten or freeze movements at these points spoils rhythm and timing. Nervous batters are u...

Some players specialize in scoring around the rim. Fultz specializes in scoring around him. Knocking down buckets through traffic, he finds the net around him, him and him. The Orlando guard doesn't stop until he's facilitated a field goal against every player on the opposing roster.

Formerly the Syracuse Nationals, 1955 NBA Champions, the 76ers debuted in Philadelphia in 1963. Local favorite Wilt Chamberlain wasted no time, leading the squad to the 1967 NBA Championship. Later fueled by such stars as Julius Erving and Moses Malone, the 76ers captured their only other NBA title in 1983. DID YOU KNOW? The 76ers' 24-0 scoring run against the Bullets on March 20, 1966, is the ...

Elden Auker, prominent on both the gridiron and diamond while a student at Kansas A. & M., began his professional baseball career with the Decatur Club in 1932. After two years in the minors, Elden became the property of the Detroit Tigers, and was one of the mainstays of their pitching staff for 6 years. In 1935, he was the leading pitcher of the American League by virtue of winning 18 games, ...

Buster, starting his 1st season as Red Sox coach, played for 6 Major League Teams.

A spectacular battle ensues when Clark confronts Bizarro, the last wraith from the Phantom Zone. Their mighty struggle causes a nearby dam to break, sending torrents of water rushing toward the land. Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, recently arrested for the murder of Lois Lane, faces sudden death from within a submerged patrol car just before a mysterious young woman shows up to rescue him. This turns o...

Those aren't boos you hear when Vasko takes off on rush. It's fans calling "Moose" at big blond backliner at home and on road. He's one of most colorful skaters in league, also the biggest. He's a product of Hawks' own system.

"Joe" began his professional baseball career with the Frederick Club in 1929. He entered the majors ir 1930 with the Cleveland Indians and is now with the Boston Red Sox.

In 41 games, with 10-18 record, 1950. Had trouble with control, issuing 135 walks, the most in the League. Herman's first full season with the Reds was 1948, although he had been with them before for 2 brief appearances. He won 11, and lost 8, in 1948, and had an 11-12 record in 1949. When with Columbia, Sally League, in 1946, he won 17, and lost 6, for a .739 percentage.

Washington called up this hard throwing righthander at the tail end of the 1967 season and Dick responded very well, winning three, losing one, while posting a sensational 1.76 earned run average. Dick's hobby is drag racing.

Pound for pound, the 1909 Honus Wagner T206 is the most expensive card in the world with one selling for $3.1 million.

First player in history of the National league to win batting championship playing for two clubs in one year (1947, for the Cards and Phillies). Finished with .363. Slumped to .292 in 48. A recent trade to the Cubs. Fast, clever, an expert bunter and hard line hitter. Called "The Hat" because at bat he invariably doffs his cap between each pitch.

Dick was acquired by the Colts in 1955 when he was selected as their second draft choice. The veteran spent several seasons as a linebacker before returning as a center in 1960.

Looking at the back of his 2006 Topps Allen & Ginter card, Tampa, Florida hometown boy Luis Gonzalez has slammed 316 home runs, banging in 1251 RBI, stealing 121 bases, while managing a nifty .285 average to this point in his career.

Damien enjoyed a 2,000-yard rushing season as a senior at Mira Mesa High before initiating his college career at Arizona Western. After landing First Team NJCAA All-America honors, he transferred to Oklahoma, where his quick feet and breakaway speed were introduced to a national audience. Williams averaged 5.1 yards per carry over two seasons, hauling in Second Team All-Big 12 accolades in 2012.

DL's hopping fastball stays on plane through the zone, making it tough to touch when elevated. Hitters who sit on that pitch risk looking foolish against his sweeping slider and fading change - ammunition that's produced 12.6 50s/9 IP in Hall's pro tenure.

It's not an overstatement to say Dent made all the difference in New York's 8-3 win over Oakland on Sept. 3, 1980. It's just the truth. Coming up huge with teammates aboard, the shortstop followed his bases-clearing triple in the first with a two-run double in the eighth. His career-best five RBI helped polish off a three-game sweep.

Another home town boy makes good. In 1945 he led the American League in seven departments. He led all fielders in 1944. He topped the league in putouts in both 1944 and 1945. He was an All American half back at The University of North Carolina. The Sporting News named him to their All Star Major League team of 1945. His batting average for 1947 was .256. This is his 5th Yankee season.

Among Triston's several dazzling starts in 2021 were one against the White Sox when he struck out a team-record eight straight batters, and another in which he retired the first 23 Tigers batters.

With the pressure on and the D-backs trying to secure a Postseason spot, Zac was at his best. He set a new season high with 11 Ks vs. Giants, 9-25-24.

Richie enjoyed his finest season in the majors in 1972. Acquired by Royals after leading Amer. Assn. in Avg; RBI's, Triples & Total Bases in 1971, he led AL in Batting much of the year. Richie hit his first Big League homer 7-20-69, the same day man landed on the moon.

Ken still holds single season records for most assists and most points by a right wing. He came to Boston as part of the same trade that brought Phil Esposito to the Bruins from Chicago. Ken is one of the league's steadiest players, and a real expert on the power play. Ken is a strong skater and a top-notch playmaker. Ken is the only NHL player born in England.

Gary holds several Canucks' club records including 32 Wins & 6 Shutouts in 1974-75. Gary turned down a chance to play baseball in Twins' organization.

A member of the First Team 1976-77 NHL All-Star Team as voted by the fans last season, he's an aggressive skater. Scored 51 points for Kitchener Rangers of OHA during 1970-71. Larry was voted as M.V.P. of 1976 Stanley Cup Playoffs.
