Discovery Plaza

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.

THE BEST HITTER I'VE EVER SEEN by Vic Raschi. The best hitter I've ever seen was Joe DiMaggio. His ability to hit any type of pitch was matched by few. To me, Joe's greatest asset was his magnificent reflex action. After hitting, his get away from the batter's box was as quick as the best. Fi- nally, in my opinion, Joe did all phases of hitting better than any other ball player I've ever seen.

One of the ablest relief pitchers in the National League is Walter "Jumbo" Brown, the big, good-natured right-hander of the New York Giants. Brown can be seen in the Giant bull pen daily and whenever a pitcher wavers, he starts warming up. He appeared in thirty-one games last year, winding up with four victories and no setbacks, and the year before showed in forty-three games, winning five and ...

While directing "Once Upon a Time" in the Greek Islands, Derek met a young actress named Mary Cathleen Collins. They fell in love and she changed her name to Bo. The rest is history.

Here is the ultimate in a solid body guitar, by Gibson. Introduced in 1963, the Firebird Series was a completely new and exciting instrument that offered all of the sound, response and fast action that could be desired in a solid body guitar. Reintroduced in 1998, the reissue Firebird delivers the same craftsmanship and sound as its predecessor.

Detroit fans appreciate Harley as one of the club's real veterans. While he is recognized as one of the game's top offensive players, Harley starred on defense during his college days.

Big Marion is considered one of the greatest fullbacks in football history. In seven years with the Browns he has gained 4551 yards in 794 rushing attempts for an average of 5.74 yards per rush.

The Giants had the stingiest secondary in the NFC in 2016. The team allowed a conference-low 15 touchdown receptions. Agholor had no problem burning New York in Week 16, getting behind the defense for a 40-yard score in the second quarter. Philadelphia went on to win, 24-19.

"Frenchie" Bordagaray is one of the fastest base runners in the National League. He came up with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1936 after a brief trial with the Chicago White Sox in 1934. In the winter of '36 he was traded by the Brooklyn Dodgers to the St. Louis Cardinals, and last year was traded to the Cincinnati Reds from the St. Louis Cardinals. While with Brooklyn "Frenchie" had a batting avera...

The tall, slim outfielder is built for speed, and there are those who say that he is as fast as anybody in baseball. 1952 was an off season for Sam as far as batting was concerned, and the figures don't tell his true worth. Earlier figures show his batting ability. For Boston in 1950 he hit .273 and .280 in 1951. Stole 89 bases with Montreal in 1949, an International League record.

It's a change from one side of town to the other for Bill in 1955 as he comes to the White Sox from the Chicago Cubs. For the Cubs in 1954 he appeared in 41 games, hitting .159. There is an oddity in his statistics - he had 10 hits and he drove in 13 runs! He began in organized ball in 1946 and first came to the majors in 1949 at the end of the season.

Selected 11th overall in 2018, Gilgeous-Alexander is one of three players in his draft class - along with Luka Doncic and Trae Young-to have amassed more than 3,000 points and 700 assists the past three seasons. Tabbing him as a player they can build their fortunes around, the Thunder put the ball in his hands and let him go to work.

Matt will go down as one of the greatest slugging third basemen in baseball history. His 362 home runs through 2001 ranked 53rd on MLB's all-time list. Matt led the National League in homers with 43 in 1994, and he drove in 142 runs for Arizona in '99. The five-time All-Star has won four Silver Slugger Awards - not to mention four Gold Gloves.

As a youngster, Windy was troubled with wildness. At Louisville in '48, he settled down and led the league in strikeouts with 149. He saved at least 10 important games for the pennant bound Giants in '54.

Fans are not going to forget Bobby's one out, last of the ninth home run in the third playoff game against the Dodgers last fall. It drove in 3 runs, gave the Giants the game, 5-4, and, with it, the pennant. Bobby hit .294 for the 1951 season. Drove in 101 runs. Had 32 homers.

While on the trail of Mr. Vadik, who employed the buyer of the isotope, Sydney is captured. Tomazaki tortures her, asking what happened to the deal. He explains he was supposed to kill her, but his client was killed and the hit called off.

A big-bopping, powerfully framed slugger who looks and acts the part of an eventual cleanup hitter in The Show, Tyler has serious longball potential. On June 9, 2024, Locklear made his presence felt in his big-league debut, smacking an RBI double to right field in the seventh inning of Seattle's 6-5, 10-inning road victory over Kansas City.

Duke had the longest batting streak in the National League during 1953, from August 19 to September 14. He had 49 hits during that time, in 109 at bats, which figures out to a .450 batting percentage during the period. The Duke of Flatbush had a .336 average for the season, and scored the most runs in the league, 132. He's as good a fielder as he is a hitter, and during the World Series climbed...

Many pitchers have served in the major leagues without being able to turn in a no-hit game. Bob Burke, left-hander with the Washington Senators is one of the few to accomplish this. 2 years ago, he held the Boston Red Sox hitless in a game. Burke spent only one year in the minors before he was grabbed by the Senators from the Little Rock Club in the Southern League. He was born in Joliet, Ill.,...
