Default "Big Mystery"

Asking for your collective opinion regarding the identification of this tomato.
The story goes the seed was collected and given to me with no information other than it came from a big round pink tomato which had been grown in a private garden near Edmonton by an elderly man who had been growing it for years. I have looked at many varieties on the internet in an attempt to identify it but haven't found anything quite matching it. To describe it, It is a very big and vigorous regular leaf plant. midseason producing large, uniform pink tomatoes with a very uniform slightly ribbed round, not flattened shape. dryish, meaty, minimal seeds, very mild almost bland(IMO) flavor. some photos follow. Anyone? I call it "Big Mystery" because I don't know what it is.It is also very stable. Always produces uniform tomatoes as shown. I have collected and grown seed and it is the very same in subsequent generations.
