I never had the opportunity to see Thome during his time here in Minnesota and now his paid signings are at least $80 per card. I was able to pick both of these up for less than that combined, from a seller that also holds signings, so I'm confident in their authenticity.
Thome was a pretty good signer through the mail earlier in his career. He signed his 2003 Topps Heritage for me back in 2006.
I didn't realize it when I bought it, but this card completes my Twins set for 2010, not including the "This Day in History" cards.
Here are the other cards:

The penmanship on those guys is all above average from what many players do. However, Delmon's signature is just a few circles it looks like.
I have several of Delmon Young's autographs that I've gotten in person, and it's consistent, but I have no idea how he came up with that signature. It doesn't look anything like his name.
The times i met Delmon he seemed a bit "out there" to me, might explain his goofy signature, the Allen & Ginter's really do look nice though when they are signed in a thin blue sharpie !
