Is this in Casefiles continuity you're talking about?

SDLagent · March 18, 2010, 12:58:55 PM

Nope. Original...and not revised.

I don't think it would be Tom Casey since he didn't appear till The Flickering Torch Mystery.

For some reason I think there might've been an Irish cop along the lines of O'Malley.

SDLagent · March 18, 2010, 05:22:06 PM

Tom Casey is who I'M talking about. Con appeared way before Tom but he wasn't really their friend.

Okay- well, learned a little something about the Original series. Cool to know!

SDLagent · March 19, 2010, 01:12:27 AM

Yeah, he's a pretty unknown character, probably because he only appeared in two stories (I think). I've only read one of his appearances, his debut, The Flickering Torch Mystery.

I've never read the 1943 edition of The Flickering Torch Mystery.

Next question.

When The Hardy Boys and Biff Hooper are in New York City what "phony" item does Biff acquire?

(I'm not going to give you the book's title, since that will give it away. All that I will say is that its from the late part of the Original continuity.)

A video game?

It's pretty good. Also, not only is it the first appearance of Tom Casey, but also Dick Ames, another little-known recurring character from the 40s. Unlike Tom, he survived the revision process and showed-up in the revised text of The Secret of Skull Mountain.

No. Try again.

OK I'm going to take a stab at this one....

a helmet from The Shattered Helmet?

tomswift2002 · March 21, 2010, 06:22:20 PM

No, it's not from The Shattered Helmet.

Here's another clue:

This book wasn't printed till after 1990.

I was hoping you'd say who was on the phony baseball card, but its your turn.

SDLagent · March 22, 2010, 05:20:37 PM

Who was on the card?

hardygirl847 · March 22, 2010, 09:49:35 PM

Memory is not helping at the moment with who was on the card.... lol

Here's a new question though...

Who's paintings were being stolen in The Haunted Fort?
