On page 8 there is 1x1 plate placed (left side). But apparently that has to be
a 1x1 brick. There was a loose page (right side) inserted, which looks like original
Lego colours and paper. The wrong piece is crossed.

Anyone also has this? Was that common for Lego in the 90s?

And bigger question is that worth anything?

I wouldn't say common but mistakes in instructions happend occasionally and
are still happening.

Probably not more than what people pay for the normal instructions.

It was cheaper to insert a correction page than it was to destroy and reprint
the whole manual.

It was cheaper to insert a correction page than it was to destroy and reprint
the whole manual.

And once they used all the incorrect prints (with a correction page added), they
printed the corrected version which is the one uploaded on peeron.com
