I don't know if the two are comparable. The photographer and/or artist that created those works you referenced still have to spend time and money to create said art. The end product may be over inflated in value, but there is still some physical, monetary and time investment on the part of the artist. Outside of creating the blockchain system to manage the transactions, what physical investment is there for the folks behind TopShot?
