Ah yes. I remember getting these books as rewards in the 70's. Not sure how many I had...50'ish?
They were 17 and 18 years old, I remember this because they went into some legit business venture that required a license, but only one of them and a friend were old enough. I think it was "The secret of the Chinese Junk" or something (boat, not imports).

Also encyclopedia Brown, The Great Brain, Danny Dunn were also good reading at different levels.

Yep, great series. I had to look around to find a modern edition for my son, sadly I don't think he has read it, he doesn't like to read ~~as much as I did~~ much at all, my daughter inherited that gene instead.

I read the shit out of Hardy Boys as a kid. The old hardbacks and the newer mass market soft covers.

I had a few ancient Tom Swift books, too. No idea what happened to them.

Fun trivia: TASER stands for Thomas A. Swift's Electric Rifle

Read The Hardy Boys and Danny Dunn as a kid. Loved them. All the hardy boys books are still sitting on my parents book shelf for the grandkids.

Encyclopedia Brown is a good follow up series.

Never read any of the Hardy boys, but I'm pretty sure I read every single Encyclopedia Brown book there was.

I read them all as a kid.
My copies were garage sale recycles, so many of them were the older versions that were already dated in the 1970s
