Default Sports Daguerrotypes and Ambrotypes

Anyone own one of either?

I've been slowly building a type set of sports photos, but don't have examples of either. I bought this daguerrotype at an antique store yesterday, just to have one in hand to study - I had never seen one before in person. Very cool little item. If you tilt it slightly it goes 'negative'. Looking these up on ebay, I wasn't able to find very many real ones - a lot of people apparently get them mixed up with tintypes and ambrotypes.
