Amazing Fantasy #15, published in 1962, features the first appearance and origin of Spider-Man, long the most popular of the Marvel heroes with a fan base that continues to grow larger across the world as the years go by. Amazing Fantasy #15 is considered to be the "Holy Grail" of comic books by thousands of Silver Age collectors. Published as the final issue of an anthology series, with no promotion at the time, Amazing Fantasy #15 managed to greatly exceed initial sales expectations and led Marvel to launch the character in his own title, Amazing Spider-Man, which recently surpassed its 800th issue and remains by far the most collected run in the hobby. In 1962 comic book collecting was still a couple of years from taking off as a significant hobby. Thus most of the copies of Amazing Fantasy #15 were read and then disposed of by the purchasers, similar to how one today would treat a newspaper or magazine. Of the very small percentage that survived, only a tiny handful were kept in pristine shape. As a result, any remaining example of the issue, no matter the condition, has a large pool of buyer's hoping to own it.
