Discovery Plaza

July 18, 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.

Pete hit .364 with 2 Doubles & one Triple for Royals vs. Yankees in 1978 A.L. Championships.

The key man of Kansas State's great team of 1959-60, the young Nebraskan proved to be an outstanding operative in his freshman year for the Royals. Boozer proved to be a ferocious rebounder and a deadly medium range push shot artist. Better than average defensively, the young giant demonstrated a rugged quality on the boards.

Fred came to Boston from Chicago in 1967 and has been in the 20-goal bracket each season with the Bruins. An exceptionally fast skater, he fit into the Boston lineup right from the start with his speed and checking ability.

The Dodgers swapped Wayne to the Senators in September of '52. He'd been with the Cubs since '49 before coming to the Brooks in July of '51. "Twig" had an impressive war record serving with the Marines at Saipan, Tinjay and Iwo Jima. He's been in pro ball since '48 and came up to the Majors after hitting .278 for Los Angeles in '49. In '50, as a Cub, he hit 10 HR's. 1951 was spent at St. Paul.

Some runners take it right to the defense, and some have a knack for getting away from contact. Allgeier gives the Falcons visions of both. "He's a physical guy; he's a yards-after-contact guy," running backs coach Michael Pitre said of the BYU product. "But he does have some sneaky elusiveness to him."

Dubois scored 27 seconds into overtime to seal a 4-3 win in Vancouver on Feb. 21, 2021.

Made the majors with the Chicago Cubs. Traded to the Pirates, December 1948. In the service 3 years.

The parameters of the strike zone were merely a suggestion to Oliva, who was happy to flick his bat at anything and everything within reach. That approach would have led to soaring whiff totals for many, but not the Minnesota mainstay. Instead, he swung his way to a trio of league batting titles and retired with a lifetime average of .304.

By winning 10 straight games "Preach" led N.L. Hurlers in Won-Lost percentage last season. He came to the Majors in '44 and pitched 4 years as a Pirate, leading the N.L. in '45 with 148 Strikeouts. Joining the Brooks in '48, "Preach" had the best winning average in '49, '51 and has a 2-1 World Series record. For 10 years 'Preach has been one of the league's top hurlers. But his hitting has been...

Todd Bodine began his racing career building cars rather than driving them but made a successful move into the driver's seat. He qualified sixth in only his second Winston Cup start.

George edged into the 1949 American League batting championship by two ten-thousandths of a point (.3429). Had 38 doubles in 179 hits, second high in league for two-baggers. First full big-time season was with the Athletics in 1944. Traded to Tigers, May, 1946. Hit .322 that season. Led league in third-base fielding in 1945 and 1946.

A proven forward, Lou moved his talents to guard last season as a result of his outstanding play in the 1968-69 playoffs. The switch enabled him to defend against smaller guards and gave him more shots. As a result he enjoyed his finest scoring season and helped the Hawks reach the Western Division finals. Lou made the NBA Second All-Star team in 1969-70. Lou missed much of 1967-68 because of m...

The Conquistadors' leading scorer in 1972-73, Stew got his first taste of playoff action in his six-year ABA career last season. Called by many the best shooting forward in pro basketball, his output helped San Diego off to a great start at the beginning of the campaign. After leaving college Stew planned to become a therapist.

Jose got his first taste of the Majors as a 21-year-old with the 1990 Dodgers. Since then, the switch-hitting veteran has been a valuable performer for Los Angeles, Kansas City and Boston. He hit better than .300 in two of his three seasons with the Royals, leading the Majors in triples with 13 in '98. He can fill in at first or second base.

1965 was the year that Fred erupted and lived up to all the potential that had been credited to him. His bat was especially devastating to the Yankees as he crashed eight homers against New York pitching. Fred led his league in HRs and RBIs in 1958

From his workshop at the North Pole, staffed by elves and overseen by Mrs. Claus, Santa rides forth on a sled pulled by eight flying reindeer (sometimes nine, weather dependent) once a year to spread Christmas joy and gifts all the world over. Some have questioned how one man can visit all those homes in every part of the globe in a single night, even going so far as to develop mathematical for...

"Hoot" set the American League Fielding Record for Outfielders in '50 with .997, making only 1 error in 341 chances. In 1950, he hit .323, drove in 103 runs and hit a Homer in every American League Stadium as he clouted 21 four-baggers. With 3 years of minor league ball and 3 years of service in the Army Air Forces behind him, the University of Illinois star joined the Tigers in 1946. In '48, h...

To top his league Rookie of the Month award for August in 2021, Schwindel won it the next month, too. The first baseman went from six homers and 18 RBI in 26 games in August to seven homers and 21 runs brought home in 26 games in September. Don't blame them on the North Side for asking how many days until April 2022.

The fine fielding veteran was an All-Star selection for every minor league club with which he played. Jose is perhaps the Pirates' best utility player as he can play any infield or outfield position. He's also an excellent pinch-hitter. In 1962 Jose led the N.L. shortstops in fielding.Jose has a .368 World Series batting average.

Babe Ruth, the "Home Run King", is the greatest hero the game of baseball. His amazing feats of the diamond are almost as well known in far off Japan as in this country. Born in Baltimore in 1894, Babe played the game as a kid, and strange as it seems, he was a catcher. He later became a successful "south- paw" pitcher, but because of his tremendous hitting power, he was converted into an outfi...

The Cubs picked up Greg from Oakland just ahead of the 2021 trade deadline. He soon became the 57th man to play for them, setting a franchise season record.

The Rams are trying to determine if Lamar may be the eventual successor to Marshall Faulk. Although injuries dogged him throughout 2003, the early returns have been promising, as the '02 third-rounder has shown explosiveness into the line and promise in the passing game. Gordon had big back-to-back games in which he totaled 173 yards on 40 carries when Faulk was hurt on September 28 and October...

The night of Sept. 9, 1948 was dreary and cheerless. But it was a bright spot in the career of Rex Barney. Pitching in the rain, he blanked the slugging New York Giants with a no-hitter. Score: 2-0. Rex has the makings of a great pitcher. Lack of control is his main difficulty. Entered baseball in 1943. Optioned to Fort Worth, May 8, 1951, on 24-hour recall. In the service 2 years.

The Utah Jazz envision Austin as a rebounding workhorse and reliable inside scorer, but his rookie-year development was impeded by a foot injury that ended his season in March. Isaac was Arizona State's scoring (16.3 ppg) and rebounding (8.7 rpg) leader in 1990-91.

Williams earned bragging rights over his brother. At the 2022 draft, Jalen Williams came off the board as the 12th overall pick. At the event two years later, Cody went two spots earlier. The No. 10 selection will look to further top his star sibling by making an instant impact with the Jazz.

Bill Posedel, who is pitching exceptionally fine ball for the Boston Bees this year, having won 10 games, came to the Bees from the Brooklyn Dodgers. He made his professional baseball debut in the Pacific Coast League and in 3 seasons turned in 53 wins against only 29 losses, winning 21 games for the Portland Club for an earned-run average of 3.09. In 1938 while with the Dodgers, Posedel appear...

Because most of the cards in the 1909 T206 Set have more than one advertising back, the number for a master set would be in the thousands.
