A couple years back, I was given a gift of a copy of Pure #1, for no reason other than the donor knew I was drawing my own xeroxed comic books and she won it in a divorce settlement. I don't really collect comic books, so I'm a little naive in this endeavour. What I'd like to know is this: My copy contains a printing error on one page wherein the whole page is rendered nearly unreadable due to some mistake which was clearly unintentional (smeared, not enough ink, out of register, I forget which exactly and I don't have it right next to me to check). Does an error in production such as this make the comic a less valuable item or more valuable? I figured you guys here would probably have a better idea than I would. Especially seeing as how I'm completely in the dark.

Probably neither. Unless the issue was recalled because of the error, then all the copies of Pure #1 are like that and thus, not any more collectible than they would have been anyway.
There was an issue of Wolverine a few years ago that was recalled because the word "kike" was accidentally in it due to a typo, making the misprinted editions quite a collector's item, but that's the exception, not really the rule. A lot of times comics end up being misprinted and nothing is done about it, which just kind of makes it crummy for the people who actually want to read them.
