Discovery Plaza

November 26, 2025

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.

Southern League cards in the 1909 T206 Set feature mostly lesser known players but command more money than regular commons because of their rarity.

The Saints passing attack is so sharp that it can cut up any secondary. Well, almost any secondary. Bouye did a first-rate job of keeping New Orleans' aerial game in check in Week 6 during 2019. The cornerback allowed only two receptions for 12 yards. It was a reminder of his status as an elite defender.

A veteran of sixteen professional baseball seasons, Don posted the lowest ERA on Boston's staff last year. Don pitched in two World Series. Don was acquired for Dick Radatz in June, 1966. Don scouts for a pro football club in the winter.

No one had believed Robin when he had seen the fierce-looking caveman prowling near the camp. Now Batman knew it was true - but could he act in time to save the Boy Wonder?

Except for a brief trip to Jersey City in 1949, he remained in New York until traded to Phillies in December 1951. Called "Lucky," because he missed a plane which crashed, and also left a bus which crashed.

The Dolphins dealt for Earl after the 1966 season had begun. The powerful veteran is big and fast and plays a tough game of football. Earl has the respect of his teammates and the opposition in the AFL.

Bobby's leadoff hit in the first inning was the Browns' only safety off Bob Feller in the Browns-Indians game of Apr. 23, 1952, which St. Louis won 1-0, each of the opposing pitchers allowing 1 hit. Bobby hit .260 for 147 games in 1951. He had 32 R.B.I.'s. Fielded .980.

His season total was 15 wins and...

Del returned to the Braves in 1953 after doing service with Uncle Sam's Army. Regarded as one of the best young catchers in baseball.

He had 13 doubles, 15 triples and drove in 51 runs. His fielding percentage was .986. The signs indicate that...

Love grabbed 21 rebounds against the Warriors in Game 1 of the 2017 NBA Finals, breaking the Cavaliers' playoff record of 20 set by Brad Daugherty against the Nets on May 9, 1993.

Roy is one of baseball's finest catchers. A hand injury which necessitated an operation hampered Roy greatly in 1954, so that his .207 batting average for 111 games is not a fair indication of his abilities with a bat. The preceding year saw him hit a fine .312, and lead the league in runs batted in with 142. He was named the National League's Most Valuable Player in 1953. He also received the ...

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.

One of the league's steadiest front-court performers, Steve also does well on defense. He has more NBA experience than any other player on 76ers' roster.

"Billy the Kid" made a circus catch of a fly ball to save the '52 World Series for the Yanks. A scrappy ball player, Billy has been with the World Champs since the middle of the '50 season but didn't get to play regularly till '52. In his first full year of pro ball in '47, he led the Arizona Texas League for Phoenix with 174 RBI's and a Batting Average of .392. He hit .286 and .280 for Oakland...

The Reds obtained Bob from the Cubs in October of '51. He's been a professional ball player since '46, breaking in as a pitcher but switching to the outfield when his hitting impressed Cub officials.

He was in and out of the Cub lineup in '50 and '51 and was a regular wi...

Quickly developing into one of the NBA's premier young guards, Phil won't reach his 24th birthday until after the start of the 1974-75 season. With a brilliant future ahead of him, he had the league's top single-game effort of 1972-73 with a 53-point explosion against Portland. Phil excels in all aspects of the game. Phil sports an almost perfect jump shot.

Joaquin gained Save for Astros in 1980 N.L. Playoffs. Shane Rawley set Mariners' mark with 113.2 refief innings in 1980. The Houston Astros played only 1 doubleheader in 1981 - and swept both games.

A fine puck-carrier who also likes to play aggressively. Good playmaker. Assist totals usually high. Voted top defenseman and first team All-Star in CHL with Omaha, 1969-70. Good on power play, Mike has strong, low shot from the point. Played on two championship teams in 1969-70. Right-handed defensemen are a rarity in recent years. Mike is a good one.

On August 4, 1968, Ron saved the Mets from embarrassment as he connected for a seventh-inning single to break-up a no-hit bid by the Dodgers' Mike Kekich. Ron drove in 59 runs to pace the New York attack last season. Ron holds the team record with 4 pinch-hit homers.

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. Twice has hit over .300 in the big league: his best season being in 1930, when he swatted .339 in 141 games. Last year hit .271 in 121 contests. Hartnett was born in Woonsocket, R. I., but at an early age...

Jim's favorite shot is his turn-around jumper in the key, and he'll go either way to the basket. His role with Squires is to concentrate on defense and leave scoring to others. Had fine games vs. Mel Daniels and Zelmo Beaty. Jim married his Brigham Young sweetheart.

The 1968 baseball season for Paul Schaal was rudely interrupted by a beaning incident. The third sacker was hospitalized in June with a hairline fracture. The Royals grabbed Paul during last winter's expansion draft. Paul led the Midwest and Caiifornia League's 3rd basemen in fielding.
