Discovery Plaza

October 28, 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.

A monster on the line, Watt led the NFL with an eye-popping 20.5 sacks while knocking down 16 passes at the line in 2012. His ability to bat down balls earned him a nickname among the Houston faithful: "J.J. Swatt." He was named Defensive Player of the Year, missing a perfect ballot by just one vote.

Tim made quite an impact as a pinch-hitter last season. Called on twice in a pinch-swinging role in '68, he delivered a bases-loaded triple to defeat Cleveland, 9-8, and a two-run single to beat the White Sox, 2-1. Tim socked 2 grand-slammers in one inning in semi-pro ball.

Starting his 12th year with Canadiens, Jean Guy was possibly overshadowed on defence by the great Doug Harvey, but since Doug left Jean Guy has proven he is a star in his own right. An effective penalty killer, Jean Guy is often used as a forward to "beef up" the offense.

Frank has been a consistent top Dallas pass receiver. He caught 41 passes in '65 which were good for 682 yards and 4 TDs. His longest reception was good for a 53 yard TD. He averaged 16.6 yards gained per reception.

In 1966, Willie recorded his 13th straight season with at least 70 extra-base hits. No other player has more than 12 such seasons- consecutive or otherwise. Mays also is the lone hitter to post both a 50-homer season (1955, 1965) and a 20-triple year (1957).

Bob has earned the title, 'Mr. Pro Basketball'. He consistently amazes everyone with his ball handling wizardry, play making ability and high scoring. Last season he led the Celtics to the Championship and topped the N.B.A. in Assists. In 10 playoff games, he averaged over 20 points.

Dan returned to his familiar center position with the Nuggets last season. He was the only player in ABA history to have started All-Star Games at 2 different positions in career. Dan trains trotters as a hobby.

After his trade to Boston, Eric was thanked by Fernando Tatis Jr. for putting him "under his wing." Eric's exit velocity ranked in the 89th percentile.

Backstrom came off the bench to collect victories in each of his first two NHL appearances. The keeper captured back-to-back Finnish Elite League titles in 2004 and 2005. His won a bronze medal with Team Finland at the 2006 World Championships.

Rangy rookie with an aggressive flair, Terry provided backbone on defense. He is heads-up youngster, stiff checker, and his 149 minutes in penalties suggests he backs away from no one. Terry was picked as 2nd all-star in Eastern Pro League. A childhood accident severely burned Terry's body.

Rask was outstanding in backstopping Finland to bronze medals at the 2006 World Junior Championships in British Columbia. He had a 2.11 GAA and .940 save percentage and was named the netminder on the tournament all-star team.

While some of the 1909 T206 Set card backs represent different brands, the layout for some was shared by more than one brand (i.e. Broadleaf and Drum).

A flashy one-on-one master, Earl "the Pearl" Monroe dazzled NBA fans during his 13-year career. He was NBA Rookie of the Year in 1968 and was selected to the All-NBA First Team in 1969. He also won an NBA Championship in 1973 with the New York Knicks. Hoops Glossary: Man-to-Man Defense: The defensive style used in the NBA, where each defensive player is responsible for guarding one opponent.

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

Up among the leading pass receivers. Received 42 in 1950. Yards gained: 548. Long gain: 45. In college (University of Utah), Mac was better known in track than in football.

Once took a screen pass and ran 99 yards for touchdown.

Kate Jackson, who plays Sabrina on ABC's "Charlie's Angels," is no stranger to television drama... or crimebusting excitement. Before becoming one of the Angels she en- joyed a long, successful run as the nurse on an earlier Spelling- Goldberg production, "The Rookies."

One of the most versatile players in baseball, Billy can play first base, second base and outfield equally well. His .313 batting average for 1953 tied him for the third best average in the league. He knocked in 41 runs and had 33 doubles, 5 triples and 2 homers. Started in baseball in 1944. Began the 1947 season with Boston, then was sent to Louisville for more seasoning.

The Brownies obtained Hank from the White Sox at the end of the '52 season. The injury jinx has plagued Hank throughout his career. He's had a broken ankle, a fractured collarbone, and a dislocated shoulder among others. Hank's been in pro ball since '39. He played for the Indians from '42 until '49 when he went to the Cubs. In '51 he went from the Dodgers to the Reds to the White Sox. In '46 h...

Ask Elvis: Do you like to travel? Sure I like travelling, who wouldn't? You get to see every part of this great country of ours and really begin to appreciate what makes the good old U.S.A. tick. I've seen the farmlands, central plains, the Far West and the South. I feel very lucky to be able to see America and to meet my fellow citizens from all over it gives you a real feeling of pride to be ...

Besides the Honus Wagner card, there are three other rare and valuable shortprints from the 1909 T206 Set, and the group makes up what is called "The Big Four".

Montgomery didn't have far to go to join the Lions in 2023-just a little more than 300 miles, and he didn't have to leave the NFC North. He knew them well. "The energy these guys bring, I'm excited about it," he said. They're building something special here. I'm able to be part of it, so I'm ready to roll."

Randy had a walk-off hit for the Mariners in September to beat the Rangers, 5-4. He homered in his third game for Seattle and compiled a 1.010 OPS for the Club in his first seven games.

Jones was originally selected by the Hornets 34th overall in 2023. He was then dealt to Boston, who flipped his rights to the Kings. His busy night ended up working out, as he landed in the perfect place to showcase his stellar scoring and pristine passing.

Myril Hoag started his baseball career with the Twin Falls Club in 1927, playing for Sacramento in 1929, and 1930, and in the latter year had 244 hits for a batting average of .337. He was acquired by the New York Yankees in 1931, and served as a utility infielder with them until the end of the 1938 season. Hoag was traded to the St. Louis Browns along with Joe Glenn, for Oral Hildebrand, and C...

"Where are we? Have any notion, skipper?" asks Landon. "Three hundred and twenty light years from Earth," Taylor answers confidently. "On an unnamed planet in the constellation of Orion."

The NFL's most outstanding rookie of 1982. Marcus led both conferences in scoring with 84 points. He was AFC'S 3rd-leading rusher and he led the entire NFL with 11 rushing touchdowns. He has outstanding break-away speed.

This is one of the weirdest looking planes in the sky today. The pack plane can detach its loaded fuselage, pick up another already loaded fuselage and continue its flighi. It can fly with or without its pack. The detachable pod can carry up to ten tons of cargo, and its main value is to save time in loading and unloading. Name this Plane. Friend or For. Ans. See Next Card 4

Rated as a future star in pro basketball by players and coaches alike, Cedric had a high-scoring game of 35 points in 1978-79. He contributed 228 Assists, 98 Steals and 74 Blocked Shots to the Celtics' attack last season. Cedric displays a great instinct for the basket, he shoots well from both inside and outside. Has great 20-foot jump shot.

Does this look like a career destined for the Hall of Fame? In 1995, Eddie won the Heisman Trophy in his senior year at Ohio State. In '96, he was named the NFL Rookie of the Year. In '97-98, he earned back-to-back Pro Bowl bids. Nothing seems to slow George down. Included among last year's superlatives was a streak of five straight 100-yard games. George is one of six backs to top 4,000 yards ...

Desmond notched his first career triple-double on March 3, 2025 against the Hawks. The guard scored 35 points, going 9-for-19 from the field and making all 14 of his free throws. He added 10 rebounds and 10 assists.
