Discovery Plaza

September 20, 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.

Derek spent most of his first 4 years with the Red Sox in the bullpen before moving into the starting rotation in 2002. He won 21 games that year, the second-most in the American League, and followed with a nifty 17-7 mark in 2003. He was an American League All-Star as a reliever in 2000, when he led the league with 42 saves, and as a starter in 2002.

Minor stars round out the 1911 Turkey Red baseball card set. Roughly the same number of each Turkey Red subject was printed; most early 20th century collectors preserved stars rather than commons.

Washington's rebuilding blueprint envisions Carter patrolling the hot corner for years. He had some injury woes in 2021, but showed his power promise with four homers in his last 50 at-bats of August.

An on-base machine with pro experience at multiple positions, Luke earned a 2024 SiriusXM All-Star Futures Game invite on his way to finishing third in the Twins system in average and OPS. He stepped up to Triple-A for the first time to begin 2025.

Mann showed his consistency off the bench during the Clippers' first- round playoff matchup with Phoenix in 2023. The reliable spark plug reached double figures in scoring in every contest of the five-game series. In Game 2, he posted 10 points on a perfect 3-of-3 shooting.

Napoleon Rucker, pitcher of the Brooklyn Club of the National League, was born at Alpharetta, Ga., in May, 1886. In 1906 Rucker was tried out by the Atlanta Club of the Southern League, but was turned adrift. The following season Augusta, Ga., Club of the South Atlantic League gave him a trial. He pitched so remarkably against Brooklyn in a spring training trip game, that he was drafted by that...

One of only 11 farmhands in 2022 to pair at least 25 homers with 70+ walks, O'Hoppe joined the Angels in a deadline trade with Philadelphia. He made his Angels debut on September 28, then hit safely in four of the five games he played for the big Club.

This season will make Larry a 12-year man with the Packers. Regarded as pro football's top defensive end. Also played in backfield as blocking back for several campaigns. Was an end for the University of South Carolina. Also lettered for 3 years in basketball and track. Nicknamed "Iron Man" because of athletic might. Farmer, off-season.

As Andre emerged as perhaps the finest receiver in the NFL in 2008, he became the Texans' initial First Team All-Pro on offense. He set an NFL single-season record with double-digit catches in seven games.

The 1909 T206 Set, and other tobacco cards, were often viewed as evil, encouraging gambling and tobacco use among children.

The second player selected overall in the 1994 NHL Entry Draft, Tverdovsky made his NHL debut with Anaheim in 1994-95. After spending two seasons with the Soviet Wings, he joined the WHL's Brandon Wheat Kings, compiling five points in seven games.

Seattle's throwback jerseys conjure images of team legend Steve Largent shredding secondaries on his way to setting league records in receptions and receiving yards. Following in those footsteps, Smith-Njigba causes just as much trouble for defenses with his elite route-running from the slot.

The righthander's first win during the 1965 season came at the expense of the Yankees and Whitey Ford. However, Diego's most thrilling victory last year was his 10-2 win over the A. L. champion Twins and their star pitcher Mudcat Grant. Diego led the A's in complete games and strikeouts in 1965

His career started at Columbia University, and he played with the Rutland, Vt., team in 1906, and joined the Athletics in 1907. He has been the regular second baseman of that team since 1908. In fall of 1914 Collins was sold to Chicago Americans.

McMillan's versatility makes him a matchup nightmare against any defense. He can create havoc after the catch, pouring on the speed and darting through traffic past the first-down marker. Also an excellent jump-ball threat, the wideout uses his 6-foot-5 frame to come down with contested snags.

Minnesota's second pick and the 14th selection overall in the 1999 NBA Draft, point guard William Avery hopes to utilize his quickness and good outside shot at the next level. Spent two seasons under the tutelage of Mike Krzyzewski at Duke. As a freshman, Avery came off the bench in 35 games and scored in double figures 15 times. As a sophomore, he was named Honorable Mention All-America and Se...

Players had to meet at least four of seven criteria to be considered for the W25, but only one of them went 7-for-7.

An exceptional all-around athlete who was drafted by baseball's Devil Rays in the second round in 1996, John...

The hard-hitting catcher was the Midwest League batting champion in '59. The following year, Tim was 2nd in the S.A. in hitting. Tim batted .478 in the 1964 World Series

Sal is known as the "Barber" and he really shaves them close on the mound. He's one of the calmest, least emotional men it is possible to find on any mound. 1953 wasn't a good season for Sal. He had an injured back, and in trying to favor it as he pitched, he hurt his shoulder. However, over the years he has been the mainstay of the Giants' staff. He has an easy time beating the Dodgers, which ...

"I would like every boy to be a member of the Knot Hole League of America because this League can help you to become a better ball player. It also makes it possible for boys to get base balls, gloves and uniforms without cost and I know that boys who have these things take more interest in the game and, therefore, become better players. I will gladly write and answer any questions about the gam...
