I am back into the hobby after a 20 year break. I just picked up a James Wood 2022 Chrome Prospect Autographs - Green Shimmer Refractor. I was looking up information about this insert/parallel and can't find any information. 1- I don't see any mention of Green Simmer Refractor Prospect Auto anywhere and I also don't see the CPAJWD or CPA-JWD James Wood card listed in any of the checklists. What am I missing?
Checklist for the entire set:

The checklist you shared was for 2022 Bowman Chrome. The card you posted is from the 2022 Bowman release. It can be confusing, but Topps has three Bowman releases per year. They start with Bowman, then comes Bowman Chrome and finally Bowman Draft. They are three different products with different checklists, but share the same product design. The James Wood card pictured is from the 2022 Bowman release. The way you can tell which release it comes from on the PSA label is the top line. Your picture says 2022 Bowman. If the card were from Bowman Chrome, it would say 2022 Bowman Chrome and if from Bowman Draft it would say 2022 Bowman Draft. I hope that helps.
I know next to nothing about modern so I’m curious why does the card say “chrome” but it’s not bowman chrome?
It's a Bowman Chrome insert from a regular Bowman product.
Just like you could pull a Topps Finest insert out of Topps product, but not out of their Topps Finest product.
Thank you for the details. Would this card be worth less than an equivalent card that comes from Bowman Chrome instead of the regular Bowman? I guess a direct comparison is with a Green Refractor - #/99. From my searches the prices are similar. But I see a Chrome /99 Green Refractor Mega Box and this is <50%. What is the deal with Mega Box?
