We know what the first card of Ace dealt to a player is worth in BJ. What is the first card being a 10 worth to the player if anything in a Double Deck game say... off the top. Is the 10 too general of a card to come to a conclusion about an advantage? There was a misdeal that happened for the better recently.

Yes. And the infinite-deck approximation finds a player first card 10 is worth 14.3% for an S17 game and 14.0% for a H17 game. Below is a table of infinite-deck values for various first cards for a 3-splits-allowed, no RSA game H17 game (before dealer peeks for blackjack):
