Discovery Plaza

March 24, 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.

Hisako's psionic exoskeleton draws its strength from the line of her ancestors as well as her current living family members. The exoskeleton is vulnerable to lasers since the armor allows light to pass through it.

Reggie Miller's ability to score points is part of the reason he was the Indiana Pacers' first NBA All-Star selection in 13 years in 1990. But when it comes to problems facing the youth of Indianapolis, assists are the name of his game. "What made me really get involved in the community here was the kids," Miller told "NBA Inside Stuff," airing each Saturday on NBC during the NBA season (check ...

MLB DEBUT: 4 1/3 IP, 2 ER. Miller touched triple digits 15 times in his Oakland bow on April 19, 2023, becoming just the 10th pitcher in the Statcast era to do that in any start, much less a debut. The righty averaged 99.3 mph on his 53 heaters, allowing four hits while striking out five. He whiffed the side in the second inning.

When the Phillies' "General Staff" wanted a heavy hitter to bolster their outfield in '54 they picked Danny. It proved to be a wise choice because his timely hitting and solid play as a flychaser last season give a preview of bigger and better things for both the Club and Schell. He earned his chance at Major League play by hitting .333 at Schenectady in '53.

Jo-Jo White, Detroit outfielder, is one of the few major leaguers who employs the kicking slide as he comes into the bag. This is not recommended to boys, for the reason that even ordinary types of sliding are dangerous unless carefully practiced. White's slide makes him doubly difficult to tag, for the reason that he keeps his feet curled underneath until the last instant before he reaches the...

Perhaps the most recognized dunk in the NBA belongs to Karl Malone, who has perfected his designer jam into an art form. All alone in the open court, Malone pulls up as he runs down the lane, jumping halfway through the paint. With his body fully extended, he places an arm behind his head and floats to the hoop, finishing the play with a powerful jam.

Gerry teamed with Eddie Johnston last season to give the Bruins top goaltending. A popular player with his teammates, he played 6 seasons in Minor Pro Leagues. An exciting goalie, Gerry often leaps to stop shots and frequently leaves the crease.

Ask Elvis: How did you get your first start? A couple of years ago, I was at a picnic back home in Memphis. On the stage was a Hillbilly singer who had lots of rhythm. I just naturally began to sing along and people turned around to watch me instead of the per- former. He was kind of mad, and dared me to come on the stage and try my luck. I took him up on it and it seemed the folks liked me. Fr...

Cloyd's strong arm convinced Cardinal scouts to convert him into a pitcher from an outfielder. A Navy Veteran, he's been in organized ball since 1945. In '47 at Duluth, Cloyd had a 16-9 record, leading the Northern League in Strikeouts with 239. He was No. 1 in this department with 188 in the Texas League in 1949, while winning 16 for Houston. The Cards brought him up at the end of the '49 seas...

A rangy southpaw, Steve backed up his rookie year with another fine season in 1968. The lefty escaped the sophomore jinx as he posted five shutouts and struck out 162 batters. One of his shutouts was a neat one-hitter, which he fired at the Chicago Cubs in June. Steve was the top lefty winner for St. Louis in 1967 and 1968.

A fielding whiz, Roy earned the nicknames "Radar" and "The Phantom" in the Texas League. 1947 was his first year in organized ball.

Zeke Bonura is one of baseball's most colorful ball players. Zeke may not be the most graceful first-baseman in the big leagues but he is one of the heaviest hitters and last year with a mark of .321, led the Giants in hitting. Bonura began his major league career with the Chicago White Sox in 1934, was traded to the Washington Senators before the start of the 1938 season, and to the Giants at ...

Took part in 42 games for the Indians in 1951. Won 17, lost 14. In addition to being one of the League's top pitchers, Bob swings an effective bat, and is frequently used as a pinch-hitter. He started out in baseball as a combination infielder and outfielder. Finally settled on pitching.

Maury was traded to the Senators in the winter of 1953. His work should be a tremendous asset to the Washington staff, because the young lefty has a lot of stuff. He had an 18-10 record for the Boston Red Sox in 1953, appearing in 32 games. His earned run average of 3.01 was the sixth best in league. Pitched in sandlot and Legion ball, attended baseball school at Ebbets Field, then signed with ...

Winner of the Calder Memorial Trophy as the best rookie in the League for the 1972-73 season, Steve has put two 30-goal seasons back to back.
