So, I recently picked up a 1997 Topps Factory set and when I opened it, the cards were all horribly stuck together. The entire set was composed of maybe 6 bricks of cards. When I separated them, the majority became unusable as they all left portions of each other on their neighboring cards.

So my question is this - is there any reason to suspect that the next set I buy to replace this won't have the precise same condition? Should I expect any better results if I open a foil box?

I'm going to look on eBay for a hand-collated set from back in the day.

Glad I only spent $28 on this one (plus shipping).
