Opinion - Blyleven & Thomson

[Benson]

Took on a flyer on these two, picked them up for a $1 each.
The Blyleven was in a huge stack of player postcards and wire photos, there were a bunch of other Twins, but this was the only one "signed". After looking at it at home with my 10x loupe I don't see any pressure points so might that mean it is an autopen? Does anyone know if Blyleven was known for sending out autopen postcards?


Also, in amongst the stuff I found the Blyleven in were a stack of Bill Goff prints of other stadiums (these are mostly around postcard size). This one definately has pressure points and looks like the marker was running out.

The Blyleven looks pretty good, I have seen Bert sign and person and it is very fluent and the ones I have don't have any pressure marks so I'd say its real but i could be wrong.

Hard to tell on the Thomson from the scan, but her is a comparison that I got TTM in Jan. 2010.

Blyleven doesn't use an autopen. To my knowledge, neither did, or do, the Twins. Looks good to me.

Both are real. 100% sure.
