Discovery Plaza

October 8, 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.

Card 342670
Bobby called his Major League debut of April 7, 2022, "the day I've been waiting for my whole life." It wasn't hard to see coming. The five-tool talent was the 2019 Gatorade National Player of the Year and the 2021 Baseball America Minor League Player of the Year. At 21, Witt was the third-youngest player in the AL when he socked his initial homer on May 3.
Card 175218

Card 499675

Card 57674

Card 99243
Ken was injured for a portion of 1972, he returned to action in the later part of the season and was one of Mets' hottest hitters in September.

Card 53188

He tied for the lead in DP's by National League catchers in '49 and '51. Del used to play pr...
Card 51794

Card 99191
Moriah was the number 2 pick overall in the 2016 WNBA Draft, and she attended college at Connecticut.
Card 61495
Jim made the most appearances on the mound of any pitcher in the National League in 1954, when he got into 60 games for the Dodgers, strictly as a relief man, and a good one. He won 8 games and lost 4, and he worked 87 innings, giving up 76 hits. He walked 44 men and struck out 58 and his earned run average was 3.21.

Card 509078
"Heinie Manush is another of those six-foot, southpawed Southerners who has risen to fame in professional baseball. Playing consistently in the outfield he has gradually built up a reputation as a batter that in 1933 won him the title of having made the most hits and the most triples in the American League during the season. He was born in Tuscumbia, Ala., in 1901 and began his baseball career ...
Card 53247

In the hitting department Ted's .320 average was the third highest in the League. His average last season was his best in the majors. He's been in baseball since 1946, a regular with Reds since 1948.
Card 252480
Emmanuel has rare flexibility in his arms, legs and fingers that allow him to unleash triple-digit cutters and savage sliders. "He was given a gift that not many people have ever been given," fellow Cleveland reliever Sam Hentges says. Clase makes the most of it, too. In 2023, the Guardians stopper reaped his second-straight MLB All-Star Game invite.
Card 191823

Card 489520
Kelly was a high draft pick as a shortstop in 2000, but he soon switched to the outfield. One thing that has remained steady has been his stick. He thumped 23 home runs for Class A Macon in 2001, and 16 for Double-A Greenville in 2004. After proving too much for Triple-A pitchers in 2005, he was beckoned by the Braves. He drove in 6 runs on June 17.

Card 158881
After two years in service, Whitey came back in 1953 to be the top winner on the Yankees' staff with 18. He lost 6, and his earned run average was an even 3.00, the fourth best in the league. After burning up the Yankee farm system, Whitey joined the Bombers, midway in the 1950 campaign, and his pitching was instrumental in their winning the pennant. In 1953 Whitey defeated the Indians 4 times,...
Card 154648
No less a hockey luminary than Wayne Gretzky saw that the best way to light a fire under Daniel was to give him a "Ghost of Christmas Future" look at what might yet be. So midway through the 2000-01 season, Phoenix actually put Briere on waivers. When there were no takers, the slick center re-dedicated himself. In '01-02, his team-high 32 goals put him in a pack with Paul Kariya, Ziggy Palffy a...

Card 51727
Paul once aspired to be a fighter pilot, but his massive size and ridiculously powerful right arm led him down a different path as one of the most highly anticipated pitching prospects ever. Skenes made his pro debut in 2023 and dominated Triple-A for the first month of the following season before bringing his triple-digit heat to Pittsburgh in May.
Card 250369

Card 248716
Len led the Chiefs to their upset victory over the Vikings in last year's Super Bowl. The number one passer in AFL history, Len has thrown more touchdown passes in the last eight years (182), than any other active quarterback.
