He will be 78 this coming Saturday, so with him being 13-14 when these cards came out, and not continuing in the hobby much after that, he finds it hard to remember.

If he did remember pulling the Mantle, it would definitely make for a great story, but unfortunately, that is the best we can do.
Still awesome that he passed that down to you. Since I'm a first generation American born, my father didn't collect anything cool and has nothing to pass down to me. Pulled or not pulled, I envy when I hear stories like yours.
