Default Changed spark plugs, would like opinions on how old ones look

Alright, so finally got around to replacing my spark plugs, currently at 102k miles, previous owner claims he changed them at 50k miles. It's a 2003 AP1 btw. So just wanted to throw some pictures of my old spark plugs up here and see if there's anything abnormal about them, see if there's anything it looks like I should check on. No problems I currently notice, a little oil consumption but nothing crazy, no weird noises, am just curious as to what the spark plugs have to say about the health of my motor. Thanks for any advice and expertise guys!

Those are the original plugs. 50k plugs wouldn't look like those. And for 100k+, they look perfectly fine.

They look OK. But looks more like 100k miles than 50k, based on how torched the ceramic is. Did you check the gap of old ones? What were they?

Ok, yea I was skeptical when I saw them, I didn't think 50k plugs should look like that either, but I'm no genius. No, I did not check the gap on the old plugs, if you really want I can measure it.
