The 2022 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Chrome set consists of (90) cards.
Collectors ripping through their packs/boxes have noticed that the Refractor parallels of these cards contain the Topps autograph COA printed on the back. The only problem is that these specific cards were never meant to have that COA printed on them.
As you can imagine it wouldn’t take much for a scammer to forge the player’s autograph on the front, and attempt to pass it off as the real thing. An individual who didn’t know any better might look at that card, see the COA, and believe the autograph is authentic.
It looks like this is isolated to just the regular non-autographed Refractor parallels. Non-autographed Orange Refractors #’ed/99, Pearl White Refractors #’ed/30, Gold Minted Refractors, and SuperFractors #’ed 1/1 do not have this COA printed on the back.
If you’re looking for an authentic 2022 Topps Stadium Club Baseball Chrome Refractor Autograph not only should it have the COA printed on the back, but the front should have the “TOPPS CERTIFIED AUTOGRAPH ISSUE” message as well. It should also be serial numbered.
A similar situation took place with 2021 Topps Archives Baseball.

Sports Card Info 
I’m not sure this info is 100% accurate. I have a Walker Buehler base refractor, for example. There is no autograph authenticity statement anywhere. Checking most of my refractors, I can’t find I d that does. I’m not saying this doesn’t exist, but perhaps Topps caught it early, or (more likely with a print run around ~19,000, the chances of catching an error in time seem small), it only impacted a few cards.
His Chrome Refractors found in the regular Stadium Club set have the message on them. His Chrome Refractors in the standalone Stadium Club Chrome set don’t.
