Two in today, courtesy of @asimovpulps:  The September 1940 Super Science Stories, Asimov's first Robot story; and the June 1942 Astounding, featuring the second Foundation story and the first Foundation cover.  I'm getting close to a complete set of the Foundation stories in Astounding.

Completing the Foundation series was what got me into pulp collecting in the first place, I'm excited you're getting close and happy to have made a small contribution :)

I'm curious which ones you have left to complete the set?

The August 1944 issue; although it was in between my posting the two books today and you asking that I ordered a copy of the October 1944 issue, so waiting on that.

I'm actually trying to put together a complete run of the Campbell Astounding/Analog run; I'm only at about 40% so far.  But some of the issues are getting a lot harder to find, fast, right now.

And now I've only got the one issue to go.  This is one of only two Foundation stories that didn't get the cover, although serials only got the cover on the first issue.

Finally.....been looking for a copy of the April 1928 Amazing Stories for a while. I have some Astounding bedsheets from the 40s, but was shocked at the sheer size of this one when it arrived. It's the only pulp I grabbed specifically for the cover, as I tend to focus on authors/stories.

No time for scan, sorry for the glare!

Nice!  I know that you had been looking for that one for a while now.  It really is a stunning cover design.

That Bob Olsen story appeared earlier in a 1929 Science Wonder Stories. He was a mentor to a teenage Ray Bradbury, FYI...
