Anyone collect uncorrected error cards?

I found this minor error today: "pastime" is misspelled on the back of Dave Hanner's 1957 Topps football card. As far as I know, it was not corrected.
It got me wondering: does anyone collect error cards in general? I know a few people who collect specific types of errors, such as cards that picture the wrong player. But there are tons of errors out there: misspelled names, the wrong team, the wrong logo, on and on, down to spelling errors like this one. The price guides have a lot of the errors identified, but does anyone use the info?
Personally, I find the error cards interesting, just because I like trivia, and I tend to remember them. I have never collected them, though, except as parts of sets.
