Pulp question: to what extent is the value affected by the stories within? Or is it more about rarity and cover?

 

I imagine a Tarzan or Conan story would add value, but how about a story by Heinlein or Lovecraft?

[Paratrooper]

Wow. Didn't know there were that many trooper Pulps. Looks like I have a few more years of collecting fun!

[Scrooge]

Arrrggghh. It's a tough question. Used to be all about the writers. The market has turned over the year towards covers (same in the comics market). Plus some writers published in titles that sold by the ton so their work can still be had for cheap (think mid-grade SA books). Still, the older the more expansive rule applies so Heinlein is a lot cheaper than other writers because his work appeared later. Plus, once an author start being good and recognized, he changed market, meaning he could get his stories into bigger circulation pulps so that their most known and polished work can end up being cheaper due to the larger print run. All in all an author will double to triple the value of an issue compared to the previous month (if the previous month's cover is not notable).

I thought it sounded like a triple-X feature of a different sort.

Paratroop,

 

You should definately add Thrilling Wonder Stories, Winter 1945 to your list. I will try to get you a scan so that you can see why.
