I found the picture of Mickey from his days in Joplin so I tried my hand at a Custom card.

Here is what the Custom Minor League card looks like printed. Been trying out making custom cards, not very good at it yet.

I don't know where Mickey was buried, but he was from Pitcher, Okla, or
at least lived there when he was young, which is not far from Joplin.

His burial vault is in Dallas Texas at the Sparkman Hillcrest Memorial Park.

If he was ultimately buried in Dallas, then where was he penultimately buried?

Did I miss something? Why did this thread turn into a question of "Where's Mickey buried?" I'm confused.

I do not know where the Mick buried, but that is a nice creation you have Ben

Cool card
 
Hi Ben - nice work - I love seeing these projects.

For what it's worth, one small technicality for the back of your card: The two-letter state abbreviations didn't start until around 1963. Before that, Oklahoma (if not fully spelled out) would have been abbreviated as "Okla."

The USPS switched to "OK" in '63.

Keep up the good work!
