Discovery Plaza

December 20, 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.

Fielding - Catchers must shift their feet for a throw to the bases while the pitched ball is still in the air. A little practice will teach a catcher to settle a little back on the right foot as the ball approaches. By making the catch close to the body, and whenever possible on the throwing side, the catcher will be in perfect position to start his throw without any waste motion. For further a...
