How would you describe your time at Heritage Auctions?

Letter of Recommendation for Jody Garver
As the Vice President of Marketing, I can attribute that Jody Garver had a direct impact on driving Heritage Auction Galleries to becoming a company of over $600 million in annual sales. Jody's role as Chief Photographer was very important to producing our catalogs, brochures, direct mail pieces and other collateral that serves as a vehicle for our sales. The difference in a quality image can means thousands of dollars in what an item can bring on the auction floor. Our company has a reputation for being the absolute best in the business for coin imaging.
Jody was the individual who pioneered our current coin imaging system. When Jody began at Heritage our photography department was a department of one. We now have over 38 folks employed in that function. Jody was the senior expert and has come up with systems to adapt to change and growth in our company. One of the toughest parts of her role was being faced with very stringent deadlines. Oftentimes she would work literally around the clock to make that happen. She did not let the team down. With over 62 Signature auctions a year, we are constantly moving. Jody is able to work successfully in a very high paced and stressful environment.
Jody was the Chief photographer on multimillion dollar collections such as Kaufman, Jim O'Neal, Husak, Reiver, Rasmussen, Trompeter and scores of others. Her work received the highest of honors in the business such as Catalog of the Year and Book of the Year. Her extensive photography knowledge that has been translated into other areas of our company such as Fine Art, Antiques, Music & Entertainment Memorabilia, Comics and others.
Heritage Auction Galleries is The World's Third Largest Auction House. Jody has had a direct impact and contributing role ensuring that Heritage achieved that status in her 16 years here. Wherever she chooses to work, will quickly recognize her talents.
If you have any further questions regarding Jody's ability or this recommendation, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or telephone.
Thank you,

The images of the coins in the Heritage many catalogs are simply beautiful. They accurately represent the coin but use amazing techniques which show the coins in their very best possible way, the dips the clarity, the toning are always impressive. I have visited other coin boards, and it seems they all are impressed with the accuracy and beauty of toning. Heritage seems unsurpassed in the quality of their photographs. The individual catalogs as well as the huge catalogs...stunning expertise.
