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.

Some players specialize in scoring around the rim. Fultz specializes in scoring around him. Knocking down buckets through traffic, he finds the net around him, him and him. The Orlando guard doesn't stop until he's facilitated a field goal against every player on the opposing roster.

Fast base runners like Ben Chapman of the Yankees who led the American League in stolen bases in 1933, can take longer leads off the bases with safety than slower runners. All base runners must accustom themselves to listen to the advice of coachers. This is because, while the runner can see the pitcher and tell when he is about to throw to a base, he cannot see the basemen, who stand behind hi...

A real hustler, Jim is one of the most colorful players on the White Sox. Always on the "go" he raised his '53 batting average by 27 points last season. Swiping bases is one of his specialties and in '54 he tied for second in Stolen Bases. Starting in '49, Jim played 3 years in the Minors, never batting below .335!

After receiving his discharge from the Canadian Army in 1945, Dick returned to the A's to pitch a no-hit, no-run game against the Browns.

St. Louis Brown flychaser. He measures 5' 8" and tips the scales at 180 pounds.

Curtis Joseph's a real workhorse, but the addition of Jon will enable the Blues to give "CuJo" more rest during the season. Jon has averaged 25 wins over the past five years and he reeled off a 14-game unbeaten streak in '93-94.

A promising hitter who consistently gets the barrel of the bat on the ball, Brooks has an advanced offensive game swinging from both sides of the plate.

The former first- round pick in the 2019 MLB Draft is rated the fastest player in MLB. Corbin rocketed a 113.8 MPH double off Trevor Williams, 5-7-23.

Bob was discovered by the Giants while playing at Curtis High School. He played part of the 1942 season with Rocky Mount in the Bi-State League and then entered military service.

"Turk" was catching and playing the outfield for a semi-pro team in '42 when the team's pitcher failed to show up for a game. Turk took over, struck out 17 men and has been a pitcher ever since. The Dodgers signed him in '42. He spent 1943-44-45 in the Infantry and was wounded in the Battle of the Bulge. The Cubs drafted him from Montreal in '50 after Turk had compiled a 13-9 record in 29 games.

Bobby really made the rounds in 1951. He started off with the Braves and went to the Browns in May.
