Well I bought my first Pulp!... But it has a repo cover...that was CLEARLY listed in the item TITLE  

https://www.ebay.com/itm/WEIRD-TALES-MARCH-1949-REPLICATED-GLOSSY-FRONT-COVER-/124603983460?_trksid=p2047675.l2557&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&nma=true&si=FIWv10PCWNBNMULpmg%2B1vG7SYJ8%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc

Ive always liked this cover so what the heck!

Are any of the stories good?

I don't think I've read any of the stories from that issue.  But Theodore Sturgeon is a good writer, there's a Robert Bloch story and he's one of the Weird Tales regulars who is well remembered today, and it's got a Cthulhu related story by Derleth- which I really should read eventually; to make my own mind up about.  Some people hate everything Derleth did with the Mythos, but the fact is he really did more than just about anybody to expand and popularize the concept.

This cover has always thrown me, I don't have this issue.  But I do have another one that I keep getting this one confused with when I see it.  Not sure why,they're not THAT similar:

Hello all, I am a long time collector and Host of Golden Guys. As a Huge Pulp fan of Lovecraft, Williamson, Bradbury, Saunders, Brundedge and Finley. A shop owner called and said..do you know about these. Well Tommorow night on YouTube Comic Corps I will be Debuting the first part of the Collection.

Two fun readers today.  The surprising thing is it’s the Saturn that has the first publication of a Clark Ashton Smith Hyperborea story, not the Weird Tales:

10 Story Book

January 1936

Classic Cover

Just picked this pulp up.  Nice copy of this rare pulp.  

I’m sure some people will consider this a type of a precursor  to The Batman, or The Black Bat from the pulps.

In today.  Has “The Hills of the Dead”, a Solomon Kane story by Howard, and “The Electric Executioner”, a revision by Lovecraft based on a story from several decades earlier by Adolphe de Castro.  Somewhat unusual in that the original version was published, but Lovecraft changed things enough Castro was able to sell it as a new story.  In any case, one of only 10 Weird Tales I’m aware of with the first publication of actual stories by both Howard and Lovecraft:

In today.  Not thrilled with the condition, but pages are supple and this issue had been eluding me for a couple of years.  Last part of “Red Nails “, giving me the whole serial:

Hi everyone. I don't collect Pulp comics but these were in a box of comics I picked up today. Is anyone familiar with these? I did some research and it does not seem that they are highly valuable at all. Looks like they may have sustained some water damage over time. I know there are some avid collectors of certain books regardless of condition and I wouldn't mind sending them to someone who's really into these. I just didn't want to get rid of them because I don't know anyone in my area that collects books like these.

Fun to read but little value but they survived some 70 years now.The covers and the stories are the thing that sells pulps the older they are more rare they get.I would just tuck them away and when you have time read them

As others have said, none of these are particularly high value at the moment.  But pulps are surprising a lot of people right now, so who knows.  The Planet Stories has an interior illustration by Wally Wood, by the way.

Have always wanted one of these and the right circumstances recently arose

Back in the day, I wonder how many of the women who were aghast with indignity over these types of magazines knew that these covers were produced by a woman ? GOD BLESS...

One of my favorite  Brundage covers

Super sultry cover above👍‼️🤪❤️

Two treasures from a weekend pulp hunt in the real world. Definitely wasn't expecting to add these to the collection any time soon, let alone in the same day. Both dinged up (missing back covers), but no complaints from me.

Weird Tales December 1932 - first Conan story by Robert E Howard

Amazing Stories September 1927 - A Colour Out of Space by Lovecraft
