Back in the '80s, during the Secret Wars II event, the Beyonder turned a New York office building into solid gold. Doing so effectively destroyed the building and caused at least one death, that I recall. Spider-Man rescued a number of people from the partially collapsed building. The government stepped in and carved up the building and took the gold to the Pacific Ocean and dumped it there to prevent the thousands of tons of gold from ruining the global economy. Spider-Man, however, witnessing the local police and government secretly give the Kingpin his "cut" of the gold (in the form of several solid gold typewriters from the building) decided that he should get compensated for all the life-saving he did and reached into a solid gold waste paper basket and pulled out a solid gold steno pad that someone had thrown away just before the Beyonder changed everything to gold. This solid gold steno pad was sitting on Peter Parker's mantle for months while he considered what to actually do with it. It would have solved all of his financial problems, but he was worried about explaining where he got it. My question is: What did the PTB in charge of the Spidey titles decide the final fate of the gold steno pad was?

That was during Secret Wars 2, in Amazing Spider-Man #268 and Web of Spider-Man #6. In Web of Spider-Man #15 he fences the notebook for money to pay for Aunt May's squeeze, Nathan Lubenskys hospital bill. He got 3 grand for it. and went and paid the hospital bill.
