Misprinted modern cast iron worth

I can't think of really anything produced after about 1957 that the collecting community considers collectible, except perhaps the Lodge wildlife series or similar. Spelling mistakes happen in one of two ways. Either the pattern maker inscribes a word incorrectly, or, in the case of raised lettering, a molder makes incorrect impressions in the sand mold surface. Raised lettering could also be a part of the pattern, but it would be hard to believe this type of error would slip past QC since every pan made from the particular pattern would have it. Assuming foreign manufacture, perhaps a language barrier let it go unnoticed. I think most collectors would see this one as a second, not a unicorn.
