I had some help with a friend from Instagram named Chance to get this card signed TTM from former Oriole, Omar Daal. Chance has the "Harvey" book that lists addresses for former players. I use a couple of the forum sites for TTMs, and have had lots of successes, but sometimes I need to send Chance a message or two for guys who's addresses may be missing or confusing. Daal wasn't listed on any of the forum sites, but since I had this random 2004 Topps in my O's box, I asked him if he knew of an address. He did, and I got the card signed!
Daal (b. 1972) played in the majors from 1993 to 2003 for the Dodgers, Expos, Blue Jays, Diamondbacks, Phillies and Orioles. He had a career record of 68-78 with 806 strike outs and a 4.55 ERA. His time in Baltimore (2003) was forgettable, with a record of 4-11 with a 6.34 ERA. That was during the dark ages of Orioles baseball, for sure.
I mailed to Daal on October 18 and got the card back on October 27, for a 9-day TAT.
