With Fringe JJ recorded and pressed and artificially weathered 300 copies of a fake lp by a fake band and had people stash copies in the bargain bins of used record stores and didn't tell anyone for 9 months--and only because nobody seemed to have found any of them. I think only about five were ever found or documented by fans of the show. The rest were instantly snapped up by vinyl collectors who had never seen the show but thought that they had found some really rare record nobody knew about, which was kind of true.
