You can buy fake physical Pokemon cards that don't change the fact that someone will pay for the original.

You are missing the larger point because you focus on the smaller technical details.

Things don't have to be perfect to be successful.

Again. Either you understand the larger perspective of cryptocurrencies, blockchain and tokens or you don't.

I think the larger point being made here is how does blockchain add substantial value for all parties in digital trading cards? What motivates the creator of the cards to do so when they give up so much control?

It creates a secondary market which doesn't need a centralized organization/company to maintain it.

It's like investing in the TCP/IP protocol.
