I have no personal idea the circumstances in which SGC (or PSA) will or will not authenticate something. However, in conversations with a few AH owners who have sent things to TPGs to be authenticated, TPGs are very hesitant to slab something as authentic unless they are totally confident they know what it is and in its authenticity. What could make a TPG confident? Prior examples, provenance, influence..... (at least these are what I could come up with).
I believe there are 1 or 2 additional examples of most, if not all, of the Pierce team cdvs. It is interesting that while both the Peck and Snyder and Pierce photographs were available for sale, there are apparently much fewer Pierce cdvs known.
