You're right, Tom, it has been altered.

Here's a comparison:

 

The images are different sizes, but it gets the point across.

That, and it looks like some of the color changed. Hopefully it will be out soon.
Don't worry, I have a plan.

Wow. I must be slow or something because I just realized the book actually says "Carolyn Keene and Franklin W. Dixon" instead of just "Carolyn Keene" like in the '88 series. That's pretty interesting.

#1 The Secret of The Knight's Sword
#2 Danger On Ice
#3 The Feathered Serpent
#4 Secret Cargo
#5 The Alaskan Mystery
#6 The Missing Money Mystery
#7 Jungle Of Evil
#8 Ticket To Intrigue (#7 & 8 were never published, although they would've been written by both authors)

I already have a lot of those books and I'm waiting for the mail for the rest! The only two I'm missing is The Alaskan Mystery and Campfire Stories :)

I'm thinking about getting the 1984 HB Ghost Stories too.

Yeah, Ghost Stories was pretty good. There was a couple different editions of it.
Don't worry, I have a plan.

Ghost Stories is still in print. :o  Surprisingly it is the only mid-1980's Hardy Boys book that is still going strong.  Probably the most rarest edition of the book, is the Minstrel imprint of the scarecrow cover that is out now.  The Minstrel version was only out for about 6 months before the book went back to the printers and was reissued under the Aladdin imprint.  The Minstrel version appeared around October/November 2001, and the Aladdin version was in stores by April 2002.

Really! Wow, that's I good tip. I never even new about the Scarecrow Edition. It sounds like it might be one of the rarest Hardy Boys book, excluding the Originals with DJs.
Don't worry, I have a plan.

The scarecrow edition is still out, however, it is the Minstrel edition of the Scarecrow edition that is rare. 

Ghost Stories has had 5 different covers:

1984 - Wanderer cover, boys meet Lord MacElphin on the stairs (from story The Haunted Castle)

July 1987 - Minstrel cover, boys open chest, spirits flying around

1996-2001 - Unsure year, Minstrel cover, boys being chased by hands and laughing scarecrow head

October/November 2001 - Minstrel cover, Scarecrow in field with barn being struck by lightning

May 2002 - Aladdin cover, Scarecrow in field with barn being struck by lightning

So even if the covers change, does the content?

No, its the same stories, just different covers, except that the Wanderer edition, I believe, had one interior picture per story that were later removed, just like what happened to the Digests 59-85 when Minstrel took over, all interior illustrations were removed.

Hmmm, I don't know why they would want to take the interior illustrations out of 'em...
