Do I ask the publisher for a new copy or would that be stupid?

Book Collectors: Is my new signed collector's edition book more or less valuable with a cutting machine error?
I received a wonderful present: A signed collector's edition of "Under the Dome" by Stephen King. It also came with a set of collector cards. The set came directly from the publisher. So I'm not really a book collector, but I'm delighted to have this copy.
I noticed that there are about 10 pages that were cut wrong. The cutting machine left a triangle shaped tag on the top corner of these pages.
I took a picture so you can see what the error looks like.
Do I ask for a new copy or is it better to keep this one -- just in terms of future value?

Oh, and when we see that kind of paper cut error? We just trim it off before selling the book.

Your paper cut error? Not that rare or interesting.
