$3000 Spider Man comic spotted in old Episode of Naked City
Dan Meth was watching a DVD of Naked City and noticed a copy of the comic, Amazing Fantasy #15, on a newsstand in one of the scenes. It sold for 12 cents when it was published in August 1962. Today it's worth at least $3000 in mint condition.

So I rented a DVD of the early 60's crime TV show "The Naked City", which is famous for being filmed on the streets of New York City. Well, in this one episode, there is a scene that takes place in front of a newstand and look what is clearly hanging from a wall in the background; Spiderman. But not just any Spiderman comic... it's THE VERY FIRST APPEARANCE of Spiderman ever. Amazing Fantasy #15.
