collector's value/desirability and mislabeling

I have been offered for purchase the 2-CD Rhino reissue of the Elvis Costello recording Blood and Chocolate in "very good" condition. The seller states that the first disc has the label of the second disc and vice-versa, which renders this set somewhat unique. The seller states the CDs contain the complete set of tracks for this set and play flawlessly. The CD set is complete with its liner note booklet and artwork, both of which are described as near mint, as is the case. I am curious--does mislabeling of a CD recording (transposition of labels for discs 1 and 2 in this case) increase any collector's appeal and perhaps even valuation for this set, other factors being equal? I realize, of course, collector's value/appeal of a CD recording (and other items) depends on many factors.

Thanks,
PG
