Thanks. I did an AI search and if true to the original process then these should indeed be 1/1. I pulled David Ortiz. I’m going to redeem it and excited to see how they will look in person.

How it's made: A copper plate is coated with silver and polished to a mirror finish. It is then sensitized with iodine vapor, exposed in a camera, and developed with mercury vapor to create a latent image. The image is then fixed with a solution and sometimes treated with gold chloride.
Characteristics:
Each daguerreotype is a unique, one-of-a-kind image.
The surface is highly reflective and appears to have a positive or negative image depending on the viewing angle.
They are often fragile, vulnerable to damage, and usually kept in a case with a protective glass cover.


Edit to add…as you suggested, There is a photo of one inside the box. They are wood cased book cards so now it’s easy to see why they are redemptions
