Poll: Should a traced over signature get a COA?

[prewarsports]

I dont have a problem with it because it says so clearly on the COA. If you get into the issue of not authenticating traced signatures then what about a Babe Ruth where JUST the first name is traced? What about if just the large B in Babe is traced? What about just one portion of one letter? It is s lippery slope to start making rules so I say just let it be with full disclosure.

I once had a Cobb single signed ball with PSA/DNA that the signature was "traced" that I bought in a major auction. Once I got it I realized that only a few very small enhancements were made sporadically throughout where there was some wear and the whole thing was not traced, maybe 5% of the signature overall which I did not mind aesthetically. I dont think people have a problem if it is enhanced in a few spots and clearly stated so on the COA.

Just my opinion.

I do wonder how they can tell if it was real to begin with however, seems pretty hard to see when the signature is faded and a new one over the top is in dark ink.
