Actually yes it is. The original painting is still there under the new one. And a good art restorer can totally remove the newer painting or the newer poorly done restoration. Over painting older paintings was once fairly common.
I don't recall the details, but there's at least one case of a painting by one famous artist painted over one by another famous artist. The decision was which one would they save.
It may make for a crummy autograph, but the original is there under the tracing over. I think as long as it's noted on the coa/loa and always described as traced over it's ok. Not desirable, but ok.

Anyone have an auto where one player signed completely over another?
