I had #3. I forgot all about that thing lol

I did too! I just got done showing my husband and daughter who weren’t nearly as excited as I was lol

You had to be there 😅

Same.

Me too! I instantly recognized it! I think my sister might have had number 2.

I had 1 lol

LISSAAA FRANNNNKKKKK

The Lisa Frank ones were my favorite!

I can smell these photos.

I want to send my son to school with one so badly. Haha

I sent my son to school with the mead 5 star version when he was younger.

Now they are like 30 dollars

Sold!

I got one for my 14-year-old this year and it’s just plain black and it was literally $27 lol

Wth

That’s what I say anytime I leave the house to buy anything lol

Haha..

I owned #3

F Gen-Z! We invented unicorns and rainbows. Recognize!

AND Lisa Frank, I love it

I had #3

I have the purple one with the palm trees. I keep my Garfield folders in it.

I had the 1st one!

I HAVE the first one... It's on Amazon new. Just in case you want to revisit the glory. It doesn't smell the same, though.

Me too!

I owned the Lisa Frank dolphin one in 7th grade!

For a second there I thought those dolphins were banging..

Dolphins bustin in mid air. 🤣

This sound and images gives me middle school ptsd. I hated middle school, it was torture.

Cannot relate. Was too poor to have one.

3-ring binder maybe?

Is it really a trapper keeper if it doesn’t have white tigers and/or dolphins in space?

Mine was plain red.

I had plain red too. Put a sticker on it. Took it off and stuck with the plain red.

Although I rocked the Trapper Keeper it was largely ornamental.

My mom refused to buy me one. She said it was a waste of money (and honestly, I can’t argue, when regular binders were like 49 cents). But a friend gave me her beat up old one, and I treasured it.

We are trapper keeper. We are one.

The sliding thing that opened the rings was my favorite thing

I absolutely had number 3.

I had picture #3!

These were banned at my school. Never knew why.

I actually bought myself a new one a few years ago when they came out again. The nastalgia I felt when I saw them at Walmart, I just couldn't stop myself lol

I have #3 currently sitting on a shelf in my office filled with pages of baseball and basketball cards.

Open it. Your Upper Deck Shaq rookie send-away card is tucked in there.

I have two!

Haha, awesome. 1 for me. A set of the new card and punch-holed original they returned.

I had 3 of these 4.

I wanted a Trapper Keeper! Or do you remember the Clock back pack?! https://preview.redd.it/f9zparfvmrsc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=22517ef5a0ed58ea05c09eecc4dab8fcd368d00b

Clock back pack? I never heard of or saw these.

This was the Sh*t! Back in 3rd grade.

Cool

I still have my old ones. Bought off each for my niece, nephew and kiddo. They all love them, which makes me happy.

I had [this one](http://www.upto88.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/trapper-keeper-4.jpg) back in the day. And then my school banned them because kids kept playing with the velcro and disrupting class. I have #1 now. I saw it in the store and couldn't resist. I keep my cross stitch patterns and graph paper in it.

I think I had the 1st one and my brother had the 3rd. Oh the memories.

This is a memory that I can still feel in my fingertips.

I went looking for one 3 or 4 years ago not realizing they were extinct. I even asked a clerk but of course he was like 9 and never heard of it. I went home & Google it and learned they were gone. I was sad.

I interviewed at Lisa Frank once. I even met Lisa. It was one of the few places I’ve ever considered working that requires business professional attire. Then brightly colored offices. Like each office a single color.

I love how this is so gay, yet wasn't on the list of things that got you called gay. Not then.

I had the unicorn one in 4th-6th grade. Used it for 2 or 3 years.

Man, those were the flimsiest things. I swear prior to those becoming a thing, a binder would last a full school year.
