Previous owner used bosch spark plugs

Hey guys so i changed out my spark plugs today with oem NGK plugs as i know is the way to go for our cars. And come to find out after pulling the old plugs they were Bosch plugs... Must have been the previous owner cause i just changed them for the first time since my purchase 2 years ago.. Right off the bat after the plugs were changed i noticed a huge difference! From gas mileage all the way to starting the car lol. The plugs didnt look funky when they were removed they were a light tannish color just thought id change them for the hell of it. My question is.. Is it bad that those plugs were in the car ? Or based on the condition when they were removed am i good to go?

Well at least you only had one brand of plug.

When I first got my I30 it was running 4 different brands of spark plugs. Two were NGK, the other 4 were an assortment of Bosch, AC, and Motorcraft. Gotta love a previous owner who would only replace a spark plug once it had completely failed to work. Ha!
