Announcing the Resolution Photomatching Advisory Board

We’re pleased to announce the formation of the Resolution Photomatching Advisory Board, led by Founding Advisors Marshall Fogel and Mike Heffner.

We strive to always be the premier photomatching company of the hobby, and take our responsibility of serving the best interests of our clients seriously. That’s why we’re creating this Advisory Board. The advisors will serve as impartial advocates for the best interests of the hobby, and for individual collectors at large. The advisors are serving in fully volunteer capacities, and joined the Advisory Board not for any compensation but because they are passionate about their belief in Resolution, and their desire to serve the game used industry.

Any time we have an idea we’re considering rolling out or a difficult business decision to make, we’ll first run it through our Advisory Board. Whether it be a new process improvement, a proposed modification to how we present our research findings, or a potential new division of Resolution, consultation from our advisors will be where we start. We want to lead by example in making decisions that are in the best interest of the clients we serve and not just our bottom line, and we believe this Advisory Board is the best way to do that.
