Discovery Plaza

January 3, 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.

Tony, though a two-year veteran of French pro ball, played in 2001-02 as the youngest Spur in club history. The NBA's first-ever front-line European point guard received rave reviews, Said coach Gregg Popovich, "My hat's off to him. I have put him in a really difficult situation. He has the intelligence and maturity to understand it and handle it. He keeps getting smarter with every day, every ...

1952 was Toby's rookie season in the National League. He did right well, too, as the Cubs regular backstop. Toby earned 12 Varsity letters in High School. He attended V.P.I. and served in the Army Air Corps for 3 years. In his 1st year in pro ball at Danville he hit .328. At Montreal in '49, Toby's career almost came to an end when he hurt his knee sliding.

Tall, thin "Slats," is "Mr. Shortstop" himself. One of game's greatest fielders, Marty is also a dangerous clutch hitter. He first played Organized Baseball in 1936 with Huntington of Mid-Atlantic League - moved up to Rochester for three seasons and then to Cardinals in 1940 as their regular shortstop. His total major league batting average is .266, fielding average, .966. Named National League...

Renfro is a gifted athlete who can dominate a game, as his 15-tackle performance vs. Kansas in 1992 attests. A two-time All-Big Eight selection.

"Here's a pitcher who created quite a sensation when he broke into the National League in the Fall of 1931. He went to the Giants from the Bridgeport club in the Eastern League, where he had won 17 games and lost four, and he captured seven out of eight games for New York that Fall. He was traded to the Cardinals after the 1932 season. Jim is 27 years old, a southpaw, five feet, 10 inches tall,...

If John Stockton could do it, Kidd must reason, then why can't he? Kidd is still going strong and is contemplating playing into his 40s and emulating Stockton, who retired at 41. The Dallas offensive maestro began the 2010-11 season second in NBA career assists, 4,883 behind Stockton.

While the card size of the 1909 T206 Set is somewhat consistent, the exact dimensions can vary slightly from card to card.

Dosunmu grew up in a close-knit family who taught him the value of sharing. His selflessness translates to the hardwood, where he creates easy shots for his cohorts. Against the Grizzlies at the 2021 Summer League, the floor general caught the rock in transition and delivered a filthy bounce pass to a teammate for a layup.

"Billy" Myers had his biggest season in the major leagues last year. The peppery shortstop was a large factor in the pennant-drive of the Cincinnati Reds. He batted .281, his highest big league average yet, drove in 56 runs and played in 151 games. In the World Series against the Yankees, "Billy" batted .333. This is his sixth year with the Reds, who got him in a trade with the Giants in 1934. ...

"Puddin' Head" had the second best Fielding Average in the NL at 3rd Base in '52. He broke in with Terre Haute in '47 and was given trial with the Phils that same season. After hitting .275 for Toronto in '48, Wittle was brought up to the Phils to stay. He led NL 3rd sackers in both Putouts and Assists '49 and '50 and tied a Major League record by hitting 4 Doubles in 1 game in '49. Willie clou...

Alicia is one of the most acrobatic females to ever step foot in the ring. A former Divas Champion, she brings tenacity to each and every one of her matches, and most times, she comes out on top.

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...

Although only 23 years old and a veteran of but three major league campaigns, he has the distinction of being oldest of Pirates in continuous service. Was ten-letter man at Purdue University. Pitched no-hit game for Waco in 1950, his first and only minor league season. Fine fast ball his chief asset.

Featured in the 1911 Turkey Red baseball card set were a number of generic scenes revealing ballplayers in glorified "action" scenes - titles like "Out At Third" (#43) and "Trying To Catch Him Napping” (#44).

Luis is one of the real speed demons of baseball. As a fielder, he makes stops that look impossible and turns sure hits into outs. In 1956, he was tops in Putouts and Assists and placed third among A.L. Shortstops in Double Plays. It was a repeat performance for Luis, duplicating his 1955 record at Memphis. On the basepaths he was the A.L. Stolen Base King with 20 swipes.

The Pirates' first choice in the '52 draft, Roy has had a brilliant record since breaking in with Bradford of the Pony League in '49.

CAREER APPRAISAL: Middlebrooks' Minor League statistics improved with the competition, leaving no doubt he was ready for Boston by May of 2012. There, his .835 OPS in 75 games prompted the Red Sox to commit to him as their third baseman going forward.

1909 T206 Set cards were often glued into scrapbooks or affixed to other surfaces and, as a result, they are often found with paper loss on them from when they were removed.

With a roster loaded with uber-talented youngsters, Baltimore earned its second straight Postseason berth while battling neck-and-neck for a division crown in 2024. Reigning AL Rookie of the Year Gunnar Henderson joined the mix for AL Most Valuable Player, while outfielder Colton Cowser gave the Orioles a shot at the top rookie for the second straight season. There's more top talent on the way.

Just as I had the bear grinned, Major Norton popped up making more noise than buckshot banging on a tin roof. Before I knew what happened, the bear tossed me clear out of the bushes and I was setting square on my head. Norton wanted me to stop, but I set off after that bear with my knife. Now I'll never know if I can grin down a bear or not.

The Redlegs used Jackie as a relief man in all but 2 of his 36 mound appearances du ing the course of the 1954 campaign. He won 7 games and lost 3, and his earned run average was 3.76. He pitched 79 innings. One of the highlights of Jack's career was a no hit game he pitched in the minor leagues. It was in September 1952 and he was with the Rochester team. Ottawa was the victim. Jack first came...

Wanna hear something funny? Listen to critics talk about Ovechkin's "off year" in 2011-12. Off year? Most players would love to have an "off year" in which they pot 38 goals. In doing so, he became one of three players with at least 30 in each of the last seven seasons (Jarome Iginla, Ilya Kovalchuk).

Bob topped the A.L. in strikeouts in '54 and placed second last year. A huge 17 man deal brought Bob to N.Y. from Baltimore in '55. His fine pitching helped N.Y. regain the A.L. pennant in '55.
