Some cartographers would include an error on purpose so they could prove somebody copied their work and then sue them for copyright infringement.

This is true for most collecting. Coins, stamps, toys etc if it's manufactured to a standard then an off piece will be more valuable to those who put value in them simply because they are more rare.

If that's all it takes, I'm about to get out the crayons and make a whole collection of priceless maps.

Maps are a 2 dimensional representation of a 3 dimensional world and were often used as political tools/ propaganda. The Mercator Projection depicts people further from the equator to have more land then they actually do and probably propelled power by those that used it.
