I know you asked Robert, but here's my takeRobert, let me ask you, do you buy hats with moth bites 'cause you don't mind wearing them like that or, like in the brown knox, because of the rarity of it as a collector's item meant more for it's significance and display value?
I will buy a hat that I plan on wearing with moth damage because I believe I can repair most moth bites to the point where they are tough to find and don't bother me when I'm wearing it. I do believe they really hurt the resale value and I will point out any damage that I am aware of if I'm selling a hat so I try to only buy hats with moth bites if I'm pretty sure I want to put the hat into my regular wearing rotation.
