There's another aspect to this analogy - It's like an autographed baseball card + the person / entity autographing the card has declared (by code) that there won't be another one of these autographed series ever (eg - 10k CryptoPunks series).
Where any number of digital copies of an asset may exist, the NFT is the “autograph” atop that asset that is unique and therefore adds the value.
(It’s worth noting that anyone can autograph any baseball card. So it’s not the autograph that makes it valuable, but _who_ autographed it. It’s the same with who minted the NFT.)
