School life is certainly one of the most beautiful and memorable phases of our lives in which we have ample time to play and have fun with our friends; though there were times when we felt the pressure of studies, it was still nothing in comparison to the pressure that we have to face after passing the school.
Getting promoted to the next class was exciting and the task of covering our new notebooks with brown paper was no less than a tradition. What made this activity more fun was sticking bookplates (name sticker) on notebooks on which we used to write names, class details, etc.
In the 90s, bookplates used to come with photos of cricketers and kids used to stick bookplates with their favourite cricketers on the notebooks of their favourite subjects.
Getting nostalgic? Well, the same thing happened with many online users after a Twitter account shared the photo of bookplates which were used by kids of 90s.

इसका तो अलग स्वैग होता था, कई बार इंडियंस प्लेयर्स वाला स्टिकर ख़त्म हो जाता था तब ऑस्ट्रेलिया वाले प्लेयर से भी काम चलाया गया है, कैसे भूल सकते हैं इस दौर को भला😜

Soon people also started talking about the sports cards or guts and glory cards which used to have photos of cricketers and their statistics related to their game.
Dunno about this, but collection is one of the best hobby those days i collected big fun wrappers and got guts and Glory cards which used to check players stats when there's no Cricinfo or cricbuzz those days. pic.twitter.com/tlgdCwXKPk
