Nope, should have asked that question as a follow-up but didn't want to take up too much time on that issue with other attendees having other questions to ask.

It did not sound like that at the QA. They did note that it was intentional that MC members didn't get a presale for F1 Sapphire since the major market for that product is in Europe and not US and the MC club is US based. But it was noted that there are going to be future Sapphire releases and MC members will have presales for those future releases.

Did anyone ask about the reduced limit for MC presales vs. to the higher limit for public release?

I don't think the hits in this product were backdoored. Topps published the available parallels/autographs AND the approximate odds per box of hitting them at the time of sale which, coupled with the relatively fast shipping time from the end of purchase window, implies these boxes were packed and wrapped ahead of time, not print to order. The math shows 15,000 boxes produced and the public only purchased 1874 boxes. The remainder of the boxes are either sitting in a Topps warehouse somewhere or were unloaded on distributors.

The person who purchased 12 boxes and received no autos and only 5 parallels is likely just a victim of Topps' terrible QA/collation.

Maybe, but wouldn’t be the first time cards didn’t make it to pack out.

Most likely scenario I guess but they did list the print run as 1874 not boxes sold but maybe the same thing as it wasn't on demand. It took almost 2 1/2 months for these to be in hand after the window closed and they stated (Ships in 5-7 business days after the expiry date). If they were printed seems pretty slow to ship. Who knows as they are busy for sure.

No auto here.

These look good in a binder with the color scheme.

Oh...there is a JRod card.

Looks like the opposite of a fan vote with some on that checklist.
