Discovery Plaza

October 13, 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.

With three years of major league experience, Joe took great strides towards stardom last season. He led the Senators' pitching staff in complete games (12), innings pitched (223) and strikeouts (139). The righthander has a live, moving fastball. Joe's dad was a big league pitcher too.

The 1980s produced a slew of popular horror films, many which combined genuinely scary stuff with comedic, campy and downright cheesy elements. This Topps set presents a best-of compilation of such classics as Day of the Dead, Ghostbusters, Fright Night, A Nightmare on Elm Street, The Fly (1986 remake) and Pumpkinhead (co-scripted by Topps' resident writer Gary Gerani). As Topps had treated pas...

One statistic - 17.7 yards per touch in his Miami career -- defines the degree of explosiveness Devin can bring to Chicago as a cornerback and/or receiver and/or kick returner. A former Big East long jump champ, he's described as "great with the ball in his hands," by scouting director Greg Gabriel. "He's very, very dangerous, real fast." Colts DE Robert Mathis led the 2005 NFL with 8 forced fu...

Sammy could turn any pitch into a souvenir. Beginning with his MLB MVP season of 1998, the ebullient outfielder averaged 55 homers and 135 RBI over a six-year span. He would snare a half-dozen MLB Silver Slugger Awards and seven MLB All-Star nods.

It was Paul Derringer, unsuccessful in two previous World Series, who came through last year for the Cincinnati Reds to outpitch Buck Newsom in that seventh and deciding game of the 1940 classic. Paul won two of those important four games necessary for the world's title and it was his great pitching during the season that helped bring the Reds to their second straight pennant. For the third con...

Harry has high hopes for the new Houston Colts, one of the National League's two new clubs this season. The ex-outfielder last managed in the American League in '59 with Kansas City. Last year Harry was one of the coaches with the Chicago Cubs. Manager Craft spent 6 seasons in the major leagues, playing with the Cincinnati Reds from 1937 till 1942. Not known as one of the most feared hitters, H...

He was born in Italy, but Vukcevic is a Serbian. "They say it's a good time to be Serbian," the rookie center said. "[Nikola] Jokic is the best player in the NBA right now.... It's an athletic country, we rely a lot on our sports." Whether it comes from his blood or his hard work, Vukcevic is chock-full of talent.

It could be said that Manny has cleaned up his act. Prior to his second ML game in 1993, learnmates did a little rookie hazing by pinning him to the clubhouse floor and sonking him with eggs, ice cream and Gatorade. His response abruptly made him "one of the boys:" Ramirez went out and hit two home runs in Yankee Stadium. Three-plus years later, he is a young, but veteran star coming off consec...

Bill became the Dodgers regular shortstop in 1972 teaming well with both Bobby Valentine and Lee Lacy. He came to LA as an outfielder, later switching to 2nd base. Bill's greatest thrill in baseball was spending the 1969 season in the major leagues. He played Little League & Amer. Legion ball. Bill first played shortstop in the Venezuelan League in 1971.

J. Frank Baker, third baseman of the Philadelphia American League team, was born in Trappe, Md., on March 13, 1886. His first professional engagement was with the Reading, Pa., Tri-State League team in 1908. He was secured by Philadelphia in the fall of 1908. He is now ranked with the best third basemen in the league. Baker is a left-handed batter and thrower.

Cesar was voted the Most Valuable Twin in 1968 as he stole 35 bases and grounded into just 2 double-plays. Cesar batted .317 in the Venezuelan League last winter.

A mercurial scorer who dazzles fans and teammates alike, Marc admits he got some of the best advice on maintaining career equilibrium from former Rangers teammate Pat LaFontaine, "He once told me not to let the highs get too high or the lows get too low," Savard says. One such high came on January 30, 2002, when the Calgary center registered his second career hat trick (both in a Flames jersey)...

In 1965 Billy had a top-flight year at the plate. The backstop was third on Kansas City in home runs and fourth in runs batted in, despite the fact that he missed 54 ballgames. Billy received 3 intentional free passes in a game in 1963

With Anthony Davis quickly becoming one of the most dynamic players in the NBA, Asik is allowed to quietly handle the rest of the dirty work in the middle for the Hornets. During a 90-75 win over the Suns on April 10, 2015, Davis scored a team-high 19 points, and Asik pulled down a team-high 18 rebounds.

Prior to his death in an aerial accident, Wagner was an early hero in the aerial war with the Japanese during World War II. The dapper, pipe-smoking officer, who became the first U.S. Army Air Force "ace" of the war, made many escapes in the face of great odds, shot down numerous Zeroes and survived injury. In one attack, Wagner destroyed or damaged 16 planes.

The only player in KBO League history to win a fielding award at both middle- infield positions, Hyeseong brings more than just a pristine glove to the Dodgers. The January 2025 signee posted a .300+ average in each of his final four seasons for Kiwoom. Kim also is a threat on the basepaths, having averaged 30.1 steals in seven full campaigns in Korea.

Jacky has played as an understudy to George Blanda at Houston for four years. These were valuable years for him because Jacky learned all the tricks of the trade from the veteran quarterback. Noted for his long bombs, Jacky connected on passes of 78, 92 and 73 yards in one game. Jacky passed for 457 yards in one game vs. Boston.

George Earnshaw's hour of glory was brief in the American League but he left a definite mark. Big, strong, "Moose" Earnshaw was one of Connie Mack's big guns on the mound in the years 1929, 1930, and 1931, when they won pennants and twice went on to win the World Series. Earnshaw's major league career lasted only ten years, but in that period he won 127 and lost 93, winning 20 or more games thr...

Gainsborough was most influenced by the great Dutch landscape painters. His most famous is "Blue Boy." He diluted his paints with turpentine to give his paintings a look of watercolor.

Lloyd returned to the Redlegs in 1954, after spending some time in the service where he saw active duty in Korea. He's a good outfielder with a fine arm, and he's a speed boy. Lloyd got into 73 games for the Redlegs in 1954, and hit .268. He had 30 hits, which included 8 doubles and 1 triple, and he batted in 16 runs. He scored 12. He has been traded to Chicago White Sox.

Dale got into 53 games for the Indians in 1954, hitting .283. It was the second time in his career, which goes back to 1946, that Dale has hit under .300. He led the Texas League in batting in his first season, when he hit .337 for Oklahoma City. He went to the Indians at the end of the season, and has been with them ever since. He hit 432 for 11 games in 1946, then batted .316 in his first ful...

Topps turned a successful double play, combining two popular TV medical dramas that debuted in 1961. NBC's Dr. Kildare, starring the handsome Richard Chamberlain, was based on a fictional character introduced in a 1937 movie, followed by a radio series and novels. ABC countered with Ben Casey, a made-for-TV physician portrayed by another good-looking actor, Vince Edwards. An equal number of car...

With his ability to share grounders in the hole and make strong throws to first, Bocock is a highly valued shortstop in the Giants system. On offense, he held a .526 OBP over his first five ML games in 2008.

Johnson, who ranked in the top five in the NBA in rebounds and blocks while with the Nuggets in 1996-97, tied his career high with eight blocks this season in a game against Toronto.

Anaheim's decision-makers wanted nothing more than to add a dash of veteran know-how to a young defensive rearguard in 2010-11. They brought back a familiar face in Beauchemin, a member of the Ducks' 2007 Stanley Cup-winning team. Anaheim acquired the blueliner in a Feb. 9 trade with Toronto.

Tommy was acquired from the Indians. Just a year ago, Cleveland gave up Fred Whitfield & George Culver to secure Tommy's services. In '68, he was 3rd on Cleve. with 11 stolen bases. Tommy received 136 bases on balls in 1961.

Autographed 1909 T206 Set cards do exist but a large discovery of faked ones was made in 2018.

British infantrymen of the Royal Ulster Rifles were on duty on the very edge of savage fighting between Japanese seeking to isolate Shanghai and the defending Chinese. On October 28, 1937, the British troops were helping terrorized Chinese refugees to cross the Jessfield Railway Bridge. Suddenly a tank crew of the Japanese forces caught sight of them. It nosed its way cautiously over the highwa...

The Shaq has been lauded as a complete center who humiliates foes on defense and is virtually unstoppable with the ball. The 1992 All-American led the nation in blocked shots (a gaudy 5.2 game) and was second in rebounding (14.0/game), while setting an SEC block record for the third straight year.

The Senators picked up Casey from the Cleveland Indians in 1963. The righthanded relief specialist appeared in 120 games for Washington in '66 and '67. Casey has originally signed by the Cincinnati Reds.
