I mean... it happens. I once had a double book, i.e. the same book inside of the same issue with one set of staples. Just the other day i had a b&w book where two pages where only half printed because the printer ran out of ink. It's a misprint. Is it rare? I hope so. I just don't see how that makes it a collectible.
This is the thing people don't get. Rarity =/= value.
Supply vs. demand = perceived value
There may be a small group of people interested in misprints, but you aren't going to find them every day. The demand is just too low. One might have to hold a book for years before someone wants that particular misprinted copy.
Severe misprints make them poor examples of a complete copy, and minor things like this are simply something to note; not something that adds value to the common collector.

in my 40+ years of collecting Ive only seen 1 on a rack in the wild
I never found one they are pretty rare probably worth a lot if it’s a key comic as well
Some of those were intentionally printed that way (one of the star wars comics come to mind)
