Who takes the photographs of Stack's auction lots?

I just checked out the Stacks site and took a look at their auction lots. In my opinion, the pictures are great. There is also a ton of detail when you click on the coin and get a super close up image. Does anyone with more photography experience agree? It seems like the dinosaurs are pretty good with the digital cam.

    Wasn't someone saying that most of their stuff is raw, if so, raw coins are much easier than slabs.

    I looked at their March auction catalog last night. Yes, the pictures are excellent, and yes, most of it's raw.

    Until recently their pics were lousy (even worse than Heritage, if that's possible) and their website was mediocre. They did a significant upgrade recently. For a while they were letting ANR run their Internet bidding. Now, they're up on their own.
