Unless you're roaming art galleries with a microscope, a good copy is just as good as the original as far as technique and style go.

Nope. It's the personal touch that matters. Nothing beats the original.
Hand made will always been better than replicated. Because it was made with love and care. A replicated one is just a copy.
Are you even an art lover or do you just argue for the sale of arguing?
List the five pieces of art that you like the most.
Except that misses the point completely, and invalidates the nature of art. And, regardless of personal views on the matter, this is explicitly demonstrated with in the world of Star Trek itself. "The Most Toys" has a collector finding all manner of unique things. "In the Cards" has Jake trying to get a baseball card for his dad, and have enough money to actually purchase it, rather than just replicate it. Picard's archelogy professor gives him a rare find that Picard notes is very valuable. This is the nature of the world. Just because others do not see that value does not mean that people will not value it and it is demonstrated time and again.
I'm talking about everything hand made and unique, not just art.
"unique things" does not define art. If my five-year-old grandchild makes a clay ashtray, it'll definitely be unique and to me, it will be very valuable but it'll hardly qualify as a piece of art for people unrelated to him.
A baseball card! That's art for you?
Ironically enough we see him throw it aside in Generations as if it was a piece of junk.
Enlighten me, please. Define art and why replicated versions are just as good in your eyes?
Talking about value of things in the Star Trek universe, not just art.
Yet another reason that movie is of lesser quality.
ETA: I could subtitle this "Value in the Age of Replication."
Thankfully It's back in Picard Season 2.
Or at least in the first teaser they released earlier this year.
I keep a high-quality, museum-store print of Hopper's Nighthawks in my bedroom. I have no desire to own the original (which I can and do usually visit when I'm vacationing in Chicago; I just checked, and it's currently on exhibit in Gallery 262). And I can't really think of my five favorite works of art off the top of my head, but Hopper's Nighthawks is certainly one of them. In fact, Hopper is one of the very few artists whose work I can instantly recognize from two galleries away, even if it's an opus I'd never seen nor heard of before. And yes, that scenario actually has happened: I actually have been drawn to a completely unfamiliar painting from two galleries away, thinking "That looks like a Hopper," and sure enough, it was.
Yes, because he had just lost his brother, nephew and command. Some things are more important than art, even to art lovers.
And to be perfectly fair the foley artists put a breaking porcelain/pottery sound in there as if he just threw and broke an ancient alien artifact that wasn't yet destroyed. It was just a very poor choice of foley.
And we see in PIC from Picard's vault at the Starfleet Archive that the artifact survived and is now kept on protected display. So he wasn't just dismissing the treasured artifact and throwing it for the sake of throwing it, it survived and was eventually sent to Earth.

Photography is a form of art.
Wasn't he looking for his Shakespeare book in that scene?
Or was it the ship's plaque...
Ah I forgot it was there.
Family photo album.
Ok I was half right about it being book like
Turn in your nerd card to the receptionist and see yourself out.
Yes, baseball cards can be considered art. Art by definition has no set parameters for what it is and isn't. Some baseball cards are airbrushed or partially-painted beauties of 20th century graphic design and printing.
