Discovery Plaza

February 10, 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.

Wiggins doesn't just look to drive and fly over defenders for posters. He still can, but his game now is a lot more nuanced; he'll often opt for a two-dribble pull-up or hit a step-back 3 once he gets a defender off his feet. The former top pick has matured and expanded his game to become a complete player.

A fast-skating 184-pounder, he was signed from Marlboros just after the New Year last season and scored 10 goals in 35 games making a sensational debut. 18 years old - Eric is the youngest player on the team and a specialist at drawing a goaltender out of the net.

Washington Irving's best-known short stories, based on German folktales, established his international reputation as a renowned American author. Rip Van Winkle is about a man who falls asleep for 20 years, and The Legend of Sleepy Hollow concerns schoolteacher Ichabod Crane's encounter with a legendary headless horseman. Irving also wrote an expansive biography of George Washington. Born: April...

Green Bay clinched the Western Conference Crown in '65 by defeating Baltimore 13-10. A FG ended the game in sudden death. The Packers then went on to win the NFL Championship Game, beating Cleveland by a score of 23 to 12.

Many of the images used on cards in the 1909 T206 Set were also used in other baseball card sets.

There are few defensemen in the league as accomplished as Pronger. He became the first ever player to score on a penalty shot during a Stanley Cup Final contest in Game 1 of the Oilers' series against Carolina in 2006.

Sammy Ellis: A 23-year-old fireball, Sammy hurled a no-hitter in the minors. The righthanded pitcher struck out 192 men in 192 innings in '63. Mel Queen: Mel, a twenty-two-year-old lefthanded hitter, exploded for 25 home runs 26 doubles and 78 RBIs with San Diego in the P.C.L. in 1963.

Bob missed all but the first four games of last season but hopes to be at full strength for 1971-72. Bob, who is virtually unstoppable around the basket and is effective with his jump shot up to the 18-foot range, has been a key performer ever since he joined the Sonics as the second round draft choice for the 1967-68 season. Bob is left-handed.

As a collegian, Danny compiled a 17-1 record over a two year period while posting nifty earned run averages of 1.42 and 1.48. Danny has an exceptional curveball and figures to move into the Mets starting foursome in 1969. Dan's first major league victory came on August 11, 1967.

The Brownies acquired him in October 1952 from the Brooklyn Dodger organization in a deal re- ported to be in the vicinity of $150,000. He is tabbed as one of the future greats. He was in 154 games for the 1953 Brownies, hitting .219. Played prep ball at Indiana, Pa. and also for Indiana State (Penn.) Teachers College. While a sophomore at Indiana Teachers was invited by the Dodgers to attend a...

"Penny's" game is so well rounded, he has some experts comparing him to Magic Johnson. He slashes with the ball, creates for his teammates and surprises with the graceful ease and overwhelming power of his drives.

It was 10 years ago that Joe first appeared in the major leagues, yet he is only 25 now. At 15 he was the youngest player ever to appear in the major leagues. During two years in Redleg farm system he continued his studies in high school. He played prep ball in 1946, so that he is probably the only boy ever to appear in the big leagues and then return to high school competition. He was All-Ohio...

George has a well-documented disdain for walks, and it shows. In 2024, he issued just 1.1 free passes per nine innings, making him the stingiest AL qualifier in that category for the second straight year.

While some of the 1909 T206 Set card backs represent different brands, the layout for some was shared by more than one brand (i.e. Broadleaf and Drum).

"Dee" Miles, up twice before, came up for the third time last year, and made good. Originally the property of Washington, Miles had a chance with the Senators in 1935, and another the following year, but seemed delegated to the minors until the Philadelphia Athletics brought him back last year. He hit .300 for the A's in 106 games last year, and seems destined for a long stay with them. In the ...

Pistol Pete's the wheelhorse of Chicago's power play, and the league's top scorer among all defensemen. Small for his position, Pilote can check and organize a rush.

The sound of gunfire meant only one thing! The Creeks had attacked the soldiers and it wouldn't be long before the Indians had them surrounded. Arrows were flying thick and fast. Creeks hiding behind trees were picking off the soldiers, one by one, with their deadly arrows. We had to come to the rescue - but there were a lot of Indians.

In 1962, Jose led National League shortstops in fielding. Pittsburgh fans consider their flashy infelder one of the top utility players in the game. Jose can really spark a team. Jose hit .368 in the 1962 World Series.

A veteran of many years service, Clyde was in 31 games for the Cubs in 1954, hitting .259. This is his second time with the Cubs, who were Clyde's first major league team. He began in organized baseball in 1935 and first came to the majors at the end of the 1940 season with the Chicago Cubs. He was with them until December 1948 when he went to the Pirates. He was traded back to the Cubs in Dece...

The NFC's third leading passer in 1971, Bill took over for injured Sonny Jurgensen and led the Redskins to a playoff berth. Bill was named Offensive Player of Week in 1969. Bill missed '63 & '65 seasons due to injuries.

James Gilliam, nicknamed "Junior" because he was youngest member of the Baltimore Elite Giants.

As a rookie in 1953, he has no life record but was voted N.L. Rookie of the Year in 1953 and led N.L. in most tri...

After serving 3 years in the Navy, Harry was signed by the Reds as a free agent in 1946. That year at Ogden, he had a 23-6 record, wining 17 in a row. In '47 at Columbia he won 17 and the Reds gave him a brief trial. At Tulsa in '48, he led the Texas League in pitching (22-10) and also in Pinch-Hitting. The Reds recalled him at the end of 1949 after he won 14 and lost 12 at Syracuse. Used in re...

Simon was third on the Flyers with a plus-20 rating in 2002-03. In December of that season, Gagne earned first-star honors in three consecutive games.

Dear Diary, Christmas Day, 1961. It should be a happy holiday, but we just received word that Decca Records has turned down our song of LOVE ME DO. We feel that it is good enough to be put out and we shall not stop trying to sell it. Brian promises to take the song over to another company after New Year's Day. What a sad mood we're all in! George

Now entering his fourth season in pro basketball, Calvin feels that the"little man" tag is being erased and that pro fans and the media are accepting him as one of the fine young backcourt performers in the game. He's the type of player that can bring his team even if they're ten down, or twenty ahead if they're in front by ten. Calvin was All-American at Niagra.
