Default "Traced Over Autograph"

I won this card in an auction. I really don't care about the autograph, because it is the next to last card I need for my set! The auction description said:

"Boston Celtics, Rookie Card, Certified Authentic Enhanced Autograph, GAI Grade Refers to the Authenticity of the Autograph, not the Grade of the Card. The autograph is authentic, but has been traced over to enhance its appearance., Certification #10049441"

Nothing on the flip says anything about the autograph being traced over. I was happy with the price I paid for the card, autographed or not. Looking at the autograph using a loupe, it may have been traced over, or maybe the pen was running out of ink?

Why would this be mentioned in the description, and not on the flip? I think the description chased away some bidders?
