The American News Trade Journal also often promoted pulps on their covers, as in this one from the June 1928 issue.

The sheer number of pulps in that ad that are real rarities today is pretty fascinating.

Agreed!

Looking over the group again, it seems rather ironic, given the current market frenzy, that probably the easiest pulp to obtain on that entire list is the Weird Tales!

And yet still one of the (or the?) most expensive on the list!

Knew I had one of them here somewhere (top row, 2nd from right). Bonus "Baron Corvo" story too. Anyone else collect Golden Book? I love the art-deco covers.

Inspired by detective35's post above, I'm going to cheat a little on this one, as it's not for a pulp but for a comic.  However, given The Shadow's pulp career, it certainly fits.  From American News Trade Journal, January 1940.
