Really? You don't know why? Look at it carefully ...
How did you copy the pictures?I tried and a window opened and said Auctiva pics are protected.

Yeah, that one's been on my watch list for a while, just to see if anyone bites...

You have to remember,there is not an unlimited supply.They don't make them anymore.

By the way, when was the $10 tag surrounding the size tag used? Is there a range of years? Is there a date range for no surrounding tag, the OPS tag, the $10 tag, etc.?
Are there people who actually view vintage hats as an investment? Surely one could pick a less volatile and easily depreciatable commodity than a wardrobe item.
People get fixated. Whether it's on hats or whatever else, there are things that every collector wants. Some of those things are not particularly rare, like Whippets or Stratoliners, or Playboys. I await the interest to turn to Playboys and watch the prices rocket (they're still relatively cheap, compared to the prices Stratoliners and Whippets have been able to command).
As has been stated earlier, the Whippets (and the Stratoliners for that matter) were never a very high end hat to begin with, so maybe they don't fall into the category of "will retain it's value". An early Stetson, or a Stetson 100 from the golden era, now: those things were exceptionally well made, and at all the price points and will stand up against anything you can get today quality wise. 40s and 50s and later Stetsons at "affordable" "accessible" price points: not so much.

It's a bit like seeing an auction for a counterfeit Rolex or Omega. Kind of a perverse pleasure watching to see if someone really gets gutted, monetarily speaking...
