So, this issue of ARGOSY only has stories by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard ("A Gent from the Pecos", one of the Pike Bearfield stories), H. Bedford-Jones, L. Ron Hubbard, Theodore Roscoe, Anthony M. Rud, and Lawrence G. Blochman. That's all. Just another week at the newsstand in 1936.

This is one hell of a line up!. A dealer could easily ask over a hundred dollars because of Burroughs, Howard, and L. Ron Hubbard. In fact I know that any of these authors alone would make the issue expensive. But all three?!
That's three of my favorite authors in REH, ERB, and HB-J, and a couple I like really well in Roscoe and Hubbard. I haven't read much by Blochman, although I need to do that. I have at least one of his novels that was originally serialized in ARGOSY on my shelves.
There is an issue of Argosy, part or ERB's "War Chief" that has a similar killer line-up
The men are fools to write for a penny a word. If they wanted to make some real money they should start a cult. Oh, wait...
