Discovery Plaza

July 21, 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.

Bill is a former rodeo performer who turned in his top performance ever last season. His 11 power play goals ranked him second only to Rich MacLeish on the Flyers. He missed nine games last sea- son, and could approach 50 goals this year. Bill broke into the NHL with Los Angeles in 1967-68. Bill became the first NHL player in modern times to wear a beard.

This is Con's second try in the Big Leagues. He started the 1951 season with the Pirates, but was sent back to San Francisco.

He had a 7-7 record at San Francisco in 1951.

Edwin's best pitch is a 90-mph change-up that dives in on righties and away from lefties. It has some of the best movement in Baseball. He struck out 35.9% of batters faced.

Omar is such an accomplished artist that one of his paintings has been put on display in downtown Cleveland. His proficiency with oil and canvas, however, cannot compare to his artistry with leather.

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.

Gabby Hartnett, Chicago catcher, spent only one year in the minors, with Worcester in 1921, before he was grabbed by the Chicago Cubs. He won a regular place and has been with them ever since.
