Discovery Plaza

November 1, 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.

Excellent mobility for a big man, "Junior" played for Montreal, New York and Detroit before Bruins acquired him last summer in package deal with the Wings.

Mike thanks his mom's prayers and a "miracle" for saving an injured leg from amputation when he was young. He has become one of the best guards in the NFL.

It's no "Stretch" to call McCovey one of the elite first basemen of all time; only six have hit more home runs. The Hall of Famer, who was a six-time MLB AllStar Game selection and the 1969 NL MVP, still holds the League record of 18 grand slams.

As a rookie last season, the hard throwing righthander was a key man in Hous- ton's bullpen. In 81 innings, Jim struck out 71 batters. He's got a blazing fastball and a fine curve! Jim led the Houston staff with a low 2,67 E.R.A. in 1968.

Grandal was the starting catcher in four of Skenes' first five starts in 2024, so he got the best view of anyone of the Pirates phenom. The right-hander did not disappoint, averaging 100.1 mph on his fastball in his May 11 debut. Yasmani backed that performance with a three-run homer in a 10-9 win, then caught six no-hit innings from Paul six days later.

Mike garnered his 11th straight MLB All-Star Game nod in 2023 while becoming the third player in Angels history to reach 300 doubles. Entering 2024, the three-time AL MVP has amassed 85.2 WAR - the 10th-most ever for a player through his age-31 season.

Jim was assigned to Hawaii (PCL) by the Angels at the end of November, '68. Jim pitched a no-hitter, winning 3-1 in 1959.

Perhaps lost in all the recognition given to NHL rookies in '98-99 was the play of Poti, a fourth-round pick in the '98 Entry Draft who saw his first NHL action last season. The defenseman won praise for his steady defensive play, especially on both sides of the power play. The Boston University product also was able to put a few points on the board for the Oilers and was the only one on the te...

Collectors should be on the lookout for forged 1909 T206 Set cards — particularly those of Wagner, the Big Four, or Cobb cards.

Mike appeared in twelve straight games without giving up a run in 1967.

A Frenchman who went first overall to Atlanta in the 2024 NBA Draft, Zaccharie showed his multi-talented wing skills as a rookie. In only his ninth game, Risacher torched the Knicks, scoring 33 points on 11-of-18 shooting, with six triples.

Len reached the 15,000 Point mark in 1972-73, only the 16th player in NBA history to reach that milestone. Len went to high school with baseball star Tommy Davis.

Hugh Mulcahy is one of the most sought after players in the National League. The Phillies, however, won't part with the husky right-handed pitcher who has been the hardest worker on the Quaker roster since he began pitching regularly for them in 1937. Hurling for a last place club is in itself a handicap of large proportions but Mulcahy managed to eke out 9 triumphs, his best effort being a two...

The Bucs boasted one of the game's best do-it-all backs in James Wilder in the 1980s. Doing his best impression of the team legend, Irving shined in all facets against the Falcons in Week 8 of 2024. The rookie toted the ball nine times and logged a season-high seven receptions in the classic creamsicle fit.

Considered by most as game's best 3rd baseman. Has been a hot corner star since debut in majors just four seasons ago. Strong defense man and led Tigers in batting with a .320 in 47. Injured in '48, so only played 92 games. Hit .304 and fielded .969. Chosen for All-Stars three times.

Pat's dramatic 3-run Home Run in the 10th inning produced the game's only scoring and gave the Blue Jays a 3-O victory vs. Angels at Anaheim Stadium, 9-24-91.

With his final home run of 1995 (September 16 against the Rockies), Dawson cracked the all-time top 10 list in home runs, tying Duke Snider for tenth. Facing Atlanta's Steve Avery exactly one month earlier, Dawson had socked his first grand slam in more than four years and added a solo shot for a two-homer game.

Orlando Woolridge proved he could still play on a top level in 1990-91 His 25.1 ppg would have placed him 10th in the NBA if an injury had not cut his season short. Woolridge arrived in Denver from the Lakers where he began his return to form.

The Enterprise visits Exo III, where Nurse Chapel is reunited with her long-lost fiance, Dr. Roger Korby. Almost immediately, however, one of Korby's androids, Ruk, kills two Enterprise security men. Korby makes an android duplicate of Kirk to prove the viability of his ultimate plan: the creation of a superior android civilization. Kirk goads Ruk into turning on Korby, who is forced to destroy...

K'Ehleyr came aboard the U.S.S. Enterprise to assist a recently awakened Klingon sleeper ship.

Rookie of Year for 1948. In his first full season in majors with Boston Braves he was fourth in batting for NL with an average of .322. Al's shortstop work with Milwaukee during 1947 season was talk of AA. Starred in college at baseball, football, basketball and track. When Braves signed him to a contract they paid him one of highest bonuses ever given to a collegian.

Fresh from Junior ranks a year ago, Ralph Backstrom literally forced his way into Canadiens' lineup. Ticketed for a year of minor pro seasoning at Rochester, Backstrom duplicated an earlier feat of Henri Richard by simply outplaying every centre at camp.

Chase earned his first call to Cincinnati just days after a gem with Triple-A Louisville on April 23, 2025, when he allowed only one hit over six scoreless innings. The right-hander topped Reds farmhands in wins, innings and strikeouts the previous year.
