Discovery Plaza

October 7, 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.

Now entering his fourth season in pro basketball, Calvin feels that the"little man" tag is being erased and that pro fans and the media are accepting him as one of the fine young backcourt performers in the game. He's the type of player that can bring his team even if they're ten down, or twenty ahead if they're in front by ten. Calvin was All-American at Niagra.

Wayne is a real hustling ball player. He made the fewest errors of any N.L. 2nd baseman in '55. Coming to N.Y. last June, he was a Giant sparkplug. Surprise!

Morisot was the first woman to join the Impressionist movement. Her earliest works were influenced by Corot, and her last works were strongly affected by the art of Auguste Renior.

Jarred offers versatility to the Lakers lineup with his length and athleticism, cleaning up on the boards and providing stellar defense at a couple of spots. Vanderbilt ranked second on the team by averaging 11.3 rebounds per 36 minutes.

The oldest active player in the N.H.L., Johnny does not take a back-seat to the rookies in the goal-tending department. Toronto gave Johnny his second chance in the 1958-59 season and he has starred ever since. Won his first Vezina Trophy at age 36.

Growing up in the Dominican Republic, Abner aspired to be a shortstop before his mother talked him into giving pitching a try. Smart lady. The flame-throwing right-hander struck out 44% of the batters he faced at Double-A Biloxi ahead of his July 2023 call to Milwaukee. On August 23, he uncorked a 103.3-mph dart-the fastest tracked pitch in team lore.

Mickey ranks seventh among the all-time home run hitters. He has won 3 A.L. MVP awards. Mickey has hit 14 World Series homers.

Bob is a great pitcher, who has often worked in very tough luck in the past. However Lady Luck more than smiled on him in 1953 as she matched his skill. He won the most games in the American League, 22; he had the most complete games, 24; and he turned in the most shutouts, 9. He lost 10, and his earned run average of 3.35 was tenth best in the league. Bob began in baseball as the property of t...

Coming to Baltimore in '53 was "good luck" for both Joe and the Orioles. Last season he led the team in Shutouts and hurled a 1-hitter, a 2-hitter and two 3-hitters! In 1948 with the A's, Joe won 14 games, and in the All-Star contest he pitched 3 perfect innings.
