Did anyone else buy Minecraft on a disk off ebay back in like 2012?

Back when I was young and I couldn't verbalize digital distribution of games to my dad, he refused to buy Minecraft unless it was a physical product. So I went digging on ebay where I had good luck finding old ps2 games and such, and found this. It came with 2 versions, had it's own offline launcher and even a product key. It also came with a world pre-created, you could make more as well but the world was like someone was messing around with NEI. Things like weird stack sizes, glitches items. If anyone had a similar experience I'd love to know.
