Discovery Plaza

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.

Bernie contributed much to the Squires offense in his first campaign with the club, 1971-72, with a 10.6 Average and hit an impressive 20.5 clip during the last dozen games of the season when the club was making its drive for the #2 playoff berth. He was particularly impressive in an early season game against Memphis. Bernie's big adjustment from NBA to ABA was in handling the red white and blu...

He led UCLA to an unprecedented three straight national championships and three times he was voted the outstanding player in the NCAA championship tournament. He first gained prominence leading Power Memorial High School in New York to a 95-6...

Last year Bill was second on the New York Jets in interceptions. His big day was in the season's finale in 1966 when he plucked two enemy passes out of the air. Bill's fast and always seems to make the play.

Not too long ago, "Me 'nd Paul" was a famous byword in the National League. Paul was Young Daffy Dean and Me was none other than the once mighty Dizzy Dean. Paul Dean, though never as great a hurler as his brother, has been a better than average hurler and only a bad arm kept him from true greatness and shunted him off to the minors. In his brief period of major league stardom, Paul pitched a n...

Rugged Gary Sabourin has had to work hard to make it in the NHL. Originally a product of the New York organization, Gary was never a flashy player, but he was aggressive and always willing to throw his weight around. Sabourin is one of the N.H.L.'s toughest men in the corners!

When Curt went into the Army in 1950, after leading the Phils to the National League Pennant with a 17-8 record, the Phillies World Series and 1951 Pennant hopes faded.

The rest of the NFC East caught a bit of a breather when Washington saw Young end his season after only 10 games in 2021. It'll be back to normal in 2022 and beyond. The disruptive defensive end will be back to chasing Cowboys, Eagles and Giants and making an impact in the race for the top of the heap.

For the fourth straight year, Larry was named all-League outside linebacker. He has showed-up the skeptics by overcoming his lack of bulk with agressiveness, agility, and fast reflexes. Larry's top thrill in pro ball was intercepting a pass and running it back for a touchdown in the 1963 A.F.L. All-Star Game. Larry has played in three American Football League All-Star games.

The rookie second baseman established himself as a Twin regular after coming up to Minnesota late in the year. Starting in the 1965 World Series, Frank hit a double the first time he faced Sandy Koufax. Frank was an All-America in baseball at West Mich. Univ.

Chicago led the National League in defense in 1967 and Glenn was one of the prime reasons as he paced the circuit in putouts.

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.

Get ready for a whole new Catwoman! An innocent woman, brutally murdered then resurrected by an ancient cat spirit, Patience Philips is now a study in contrasts. One part of her is human, shy, trusting. The other part is feline, powerful, vengeful. Both share the same goal to stop the criminals who killed her and thus save more innocent victims. But law officer Tom Lone is after both Patience a...

The art of the bunt ain't what it used to be, but even modern sluggers are asked to lay one down on occasion. Barry Bonds, David Ortiz, Albert Pujols - they've all done it. Nobody considered taking the bat out of Thomas' hands, however. The Chicago strongman is the only hitter with 10,000 plate appearances to never record a sacrifice bunt.

No. 24, Batters Should Be Relaxed. Never tighten your muscles or hold yourself stiff as you stand at the plate. Hitters like Goose Goslin always relax and limber their muscles and joints as they face the pitcher. Freedom of movement is vital in batting and tight muscles do not allow easy movement. The pivotal points in batting are the waist and wrists and any tendency to freeze the movements th...

GABRIELLE: "So Zeus, in his appreciation, turned the two lovers into Oak trees. And then, do you know what happened?" XENA: "Someone came along and made boats out of them?"

Jim was one of the main reasons for the Los Angeles Dodgers success last year. The Rookie amazed everybody with sparkling plays in the field. Although Jim didn't compile a high average last season, his timely hitting won many ballgames for the Los Angeles club. The Dodgers feel that they have a real good prospect with this scrappy infielder. Jim was the top L.A. rookie in 1965.

Claude, an eleven year veteran with Canadiens, reached the 200 goal plateau last season. A fast-skating, tireless player, Claude is particularly adept at checking opposing forwards and coming up with the puck in corner skirmishes.

For a player to make good in his first gason is tough enough, but for a young pitcher to jump from Class "D" to the Major leagues, and come through, is a rarity. Such a pitcher was "Sid" Hudson, the lanky Tennessean of the Washington Senators. Coming up from Sanford in the Florida State League with a record of 24 wins and only 4 defeats, Hudson made the change in grade without seemingly acknowl...

Doubs went from role player to star in 2020, elevating his play, deepening his connection with quarterback Carson Strong and accomplishing a milestone. The junior wideout caught 58 receptions, including nine scores, and topped 1,000 receiving yards for the first time.
