As am I. I've been buying the limited edition printed collections of scripts, collected quotes, trivia, etc.

And so I find this very sad, though [again, sadly] not surprising.

Munchkin Pulp would be too broad for my tastes. While it does overlap steampunk, it also overlaps western (
The Good, the Bad and the Munchkin), space opera (
Star Munchkin), detective/true crime (hmmm...
Munchkin Noir), and several others. You'd be mixing too many things at once, and as a result (a) none of the pulp subgenres would be adequately represented in a 168-card set, and (b) 15-card expansion packs might have no coordinating theme because they'd be spread across multiple subgenres.
If a
Munchkin Pulp set were ever to appear, I'd want to narrow its focus to "hero pulps": Doc Savage, the Shadow, the Avenger, the Spider, Domino Lady, Golden Amazon and their ilk. Such a set would mesh well with Steampunk, but needn't be so similar as to be considered a duplication. But hero pulp fans are a dying breed, so... :(
