A Note from the Co-Editor: As an appraiser, I frequently invite new clients to send me pictures of their items so I can review them in advance and better assist with designing an appraisal scope of work that is most appropriate to their needs. There are some objects that are not well-suited for evaluating through photographs.

Users of appraisal services should feel empowered to actively ask questions about how their needs can best be met.
