I recently found a Licenced minifig with a misprint on the face.
Not super noticeable, but you can tell that the top layer of the print was a
little off center.

Does anyone have experience with misprints being worth more, or less?
I have heard that some people seek out misprints.
Is it just really serious misprints that are desired?

Have any of you all seen those go for premiums?

I had to ask, my curiosity was bugging me.

Thanks!

If it’s only a minor misprint it dosnt really affect the value in any way and
could sometime more so be considered a defect lowering the value rather then
increasing it. If I’m trying to buy a $100 figure for a collection and someone
has one for $80 that has a slight misprint I might pass over it however if someone
has one for $200 that say the print is rotated 90 degrees I’d pay a premium for
it if that makes sense

That's kind of what I suspected. This particular one is barely noticeable,
and it's only a $6 figure anyway.

Thanks for the input!
