A big thanks to you guys who participate here regularly … I wouldn't have even known to want many of these if not for you all. Up until about a couple years ago all I knew about pulps was first Buck, first Tarzan, first Conan, and the Shadows …. GOD BLESS...

Thanks, my friend …. It was a VG/F, which I felt about covered it. I'm also going to seek out the first printing of "The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward" … in Weird Tales 5/41 and 7/41 … I think. GOD BLESS...

Missing baseball this morning and looking through my baseball pulps.  Some of the All-America Sports Magazine pulps had real major league players on the cover, and I've tracked down some of the original photos artist Chris Schaare worked from.

Carl Hubbell

Carl Hubbell was a left-handed starting pitcher for the New York Giants.  His primary pitch was a devastating screwball, considered the best in baseball history.  This photo of Hubbell was taken right before the 1933 World Series.  Hubbell would lead his NY Giants to victory over the Washington Senators, winning Games 1 and 4, and he was named the NL MVP for the 1933 season.  So it's no surprise he was chosen for the cover of this issue that came out in the spring of 1934.  Shortly after this issue hit the stands, at the 1934 All-Star game in July, Hubbell struck out five future Hall of Famers in succession: Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig, Jimmie Foxx, Al Simmons, and Joe Cronin.  He again won the NL MVP award in 1936 and was elected to the Hall of Fame in 1947.

Joe DiMaggio

This photo was taken during spring training in 1936 (DiMaggio's rookie year) when he had yet to play a single major league game.  The pulp is dated Jul-Aug 1936, so it probably was on the newsstand in May or June.  There was a lot of hype around the rookie!

Christy Mathewson

They went back several decades for this one.  The photo of Christy Mathewson was taken in 1905 at the Polo Grounds in New York.  It was used for Mathewson's 1909 T-206 baseball card long before artist Chris Scharre used it for the pulp cover for the October 1934 issue of All-America Sports Magazine.

Lou Gehrig

This photo of Lou Gehrig was taken in early 1937, the last of Gehrig's great seasons.  The pulp is dated Jul-Aug 1937.  In 1938 his numbers began to slip due to the onset of the disease that would take his life, ALS.  By spring 1939 is was obvious something was seriously wrong with Gehrig and he removed himself from the lineup on May 2, 1939 after playing in a then record 2,130 consecutive games.   He passed away on June 2, 1941 at the age of 37.
