He said he did remember receiving his BeeHive hockey cards that were given to him so he thinks, again, that maybe he did purchase those 52 Topps cards for some reason?
Judging by last night, I don't think the mystery will ever be solved?
Needless to say, I am glad he held onto them for all these years! 
P.S. Forgot to add. Your card has a similar looking crease/mark to the left of Mickeys face as what mine does, and our 2 aren't the only ones I have seen like that? |

Talk about coincidences....your Mantle and mine have very similar "creases".
Actually, on my card it's not a crease, it's a "surface wrinkle" or a scratch (as, it does not appear on the back of the card).
And, a Happy Birthday to your Dad.
