Perhaps I'm a total boomer, but I just can't imagine feeling that way about an "original" JPEG. A signed baseball card is truly unique, and the signature is an almost (albeit weak) physical connection with the signee.
I cannot fully describe why a digital proof seems less valuable. It's like comparing an email signed by someones crypto cert vs a printed letter with a signature. It's just ... different.
- detaro 6y agoI feel similarly about the JPG, and there are a few (IMHO) interesting variations to think about: How do you feel about a a printed digital photo or printed digital painting? How if there's more than one print, but e.g. a limited edition of 50? How about "30$ for the JPG and the right to print it for yourself"? About "there's only 10 copies of this artsy computer game"?
