Generally speaking, on a first print run of a publication (or in particular a module) how does a misprint within the item effect its collectability?
I have a first printing of a module for DCC RPG (that came with the limited edition hard cover) and one half page is added within it; part of the text carried over on that page on not on the following, where it belonged.

Does this type of thing have any impact on the value of an item?

Thanks!

If the item contents are still usable (i.e. no pages/text missing) then it doesn't usually have much of an impact on the price.

I think he was inferring how much extra does a misprint affect a first print.  RPG's aren't like stamps or coins in this regard; misprints usually only affect the value negatively, or best case, not at all.  The only RPG item I can think of that had a (slight) positive value increase from a misprint is the 2nd Alpha print of the DMG that has Monster Manual pages inserted within.
