lol... this thread cracks me up.
You have a very peculiar sense of humor!
As for misprints such as Lochlan has, I would personally post it on e-bay for an exorbitant amount of money under the justification that, as with coins and baseball cards, errors are a rare and highly sought attribute for such collectables.
Ah, I see. So you're assuming this is a prelude to me posting this on eBay because OMG RAREZ?
To answer your implicit charge, I have no immediate plans to eBay this thing as a rarity. I was just curious about this since I've never seen it before. As you correctly suggested, it is an extremely common practice with other collectibles to value these sorts of misprints higher. I never used to be sensitive to that sort of thing, then I started playing Magic: the Gathering and was exposed to a marketplace that put a huge premium on misprints. I understand that you and many other people on this forum are eager to demonize those whom you suspect would exploit ("gouge") the Turbo marketplace, but I really don't see any need to answer my simple inquiry with snark. I also find it a strange reason to get upset--there really isn't much left to talk about when it comes to these games, a new topic doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world! Furthermore I actually don't see anything wrong with valuing a collectible higher because of factory errors (after all, we are in a marketplace where games are valued significantly higher because of paper garbage, e.g. obis and outer cardboard boxes), but that's neither here nor there.
For whatever it's worth, you may joke, but I would not be surprised if somebody would in fact want your offset-error manual!
Anyway, I will post pictures of this later today for those who are curious! I think misprints such as this are kind of cool, myself!
