I think it's really a question of what deserves to be annotated as being part of a particular collection. If this historically significant collection doesn't deserve to be listed, then does any collection? And the historical significance stems both from the breadth and depth of the items, as well as the significance of the auction to the market in which the collection was ultimately sold.
Admittedly, having a piece that I believe was part of the Copeland collection probably makes me biased towards thinking it's cooler than the average collection that is denoted on a flip.
And maybe for some people, the right answer is that annotating the provenance of any given collection on a flip is not particularly meaningful, and the TPGs should not bother doing it at all.
