Ever get a bad box of cards?

Anyone ever get a wax box of packs and it turns out to be terrible?

Happened to me twice recently. I won an 89 Topps box and a 81 Donruss box off eBay.

Both had 36 unopened packs according to description.

When I opened the packs, the only card of any value I got in the Topps box was a Randy Johnson rookie.

The 81 Donruss box was much worse.

I literally got the same 6-7 packs for maybe 32 of the 36 packs. Multiple packs had cards repeated (started out with some cards, then repeated those EXACT SAME CARDS, then repeated them again in the same pack!) . Another had 6 Phil Niekro cards! 17 cards in the pack, I ended up with 6 Niekros, 4 of another player, 4 of another player, 3 of another player. 17 cards gave me 4 total players.

Has this happened to anyone else? I really feel like the box was rigged. The odds of 36 packs being placed in a box and of those 36 packs 32 giving the exact same cards is astronomical without some sort of human interference.
