Most don't use the head/face unless it's for the craft market. But they look at it as how the whole fur has been handled. The nicer the obvious looks the better chance the rest has been handled properly. Low fur prices is a good time to learn from your mistakes.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

If your down graded by your fur buyer for those mistakes your getting screwed by your fur buyer. Find a new buyer or ship your fur.

That's true but If the head area Is the only problem then you shouldn't be down graded. But a slick fur buyer will down grade you with out you even knowing It. I would take In some hides with out any face damage Then later on take In some of those face damaged furs and see how he treats you. But of course the hides have to be comparebale In size and primness to see the difference.

Large holes around the head could be downgraded,not because they necessarily use that fur but because it can in a lot of cases lead to blowout during the dressing process.Why rotten ears on coyote etc are downgraded.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
