But it does require buying one real shirt/NFT for each fake a scammer sells.

We used to have these thing called a Certificate of Authenticity that came with memorabilia, no blockchain required!

NFTs were created for the very reason that certificates of authenticity have no value unless the ledger from which they were issued is not public.

How can you know there wasn't more certificates printed than tee shirt created ?

How do you know it's a real certificate in the first place ?

How about you loose the certificate ?

Seriously there really is no reason to not prefer a digital certificate versus a physical one, it is on all accounts superior.

You certainly wouldn't argue cryptographic keys are useless because we have physical ones on any other matter if it wasn't for following the "I don't like blockchain" trainwagon.

What if you lose the private key to the NFT?

What if you sell the NFT with a fake item?

What if the blockchain splits and there's now two NFTS?

What if people collectively think that NFTS are stupid and forget about them, so now the physical item owners are no longer the same the NFT owners?

Definitely not "on all accounts superior."
