The MyCollect Team

Ian Russell is the president of MyCollect, as well as GreatCollections Coin Auctions.

Ian has been in collectibles his whole life, from his first job working on weekends for a stamp dealer in Sydney, Australia at age 14. From there, he learned about auctions at Stanley Gibbons Australia, putting together their first paper money auction, as well as regular stamp auctions, before moving to the United States to focus on numismatics.

From 2000 until 2010, Ian Russell held various positions at Spectrum Group International including President of Teletrade, Inc. and Chief Operating Officer of Bowers and Merena Auctions, LLC, two of the largest coin auction houses in North America.

In 2011, he formed GreatCollections with his wife, Raeleen Endo. Over the past decade, GreatCollections has sold more than $1 billion worth of coins and paper money, including some of the greatest rarities in numismatics.

Ian is a member of the prestigious Professional Numismatists Guild, member 785 and abides by the PNG Code of Ethics. In 2021, CoinWorld Magazine named Ian one of the most influential people in numismatics and in 2023, won the coveted ANA Harry Forman Dealer of the Year award.

Jason Nicholls is a highly accomplished technology professional currently serving as the Director of Technology at MyCollect. With over 20 years of experience in the technology industry, his diverse background in product management, technical solutions and software development ensures that MyCollect rocks!

Jason's journey began in the early days of the Internet when he worked for an Internet Service Provider (ISP) in Sydney, Australia. This experience and the potential of the Internet sparked a passion that has continued to fuel his career. After relocating to the United States, he worked for prominent companies such as Micromuse and IBM, and then Edge Technologies, in the role of Technical Product Manager.

Jack Fitch is the Marketing Director for both MyCollect and GreatCollections – and has the unique expertise in marketing as well as numismatics. He embarked on his numismatic journey in 2013 leading him to travel to dozens of major shows around the United States, buying and selling certified and uncertified coins.

From 2017 to 2022, Jack held various roles at PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service, a division of Collectors) including Business Development, Group Product Manager, and Director of Product Design.

Jack joined MyCollect and GreatCollections at the perfect time – his first major task was the look and feel of MyCollect, while building print ads, website graphics and coordinating the group’s marketing.

Design is in Jack’s blood – both of Jack’s parents are experienced graphic designers. The combination of his exceptional eye for design, knowledge of company branding and numismatics is why MyCollect looks how it does.

Todd Pollock has been actively involved in Numismatics for well over 20 years. A collector as a kid, his collecting passion turned to Morgan Dollars in his teens.

In the early 2000s, Todd started to focus on Proof-Like and Deep Mirror Proof-Like Morgan Dollars, realizing how attractive the reflective fields were, while at the same time being underappreciated compared to rarity.

A few years later, Todd formed BluCC Photos and started to travel to coin shows offering photography services on-site around the United States. In 2011, the American Numismatic Association asked Todd to teach photography at the first Advanced Numismatic Photography Course at the ANA Summer Seminar and at several ANA shows. Also in 2011, Todd helped set-up the policies and procedures of imaging at GreatCollections Coin Auctions.

His photography business has kept him very busy over the years - taking literally 100,000s of images. In 2022, Todd was one of the first people to join MyCollect. His wide knowledge of U.S. coins is helping create the most advanced set calculations and definitions in the industry. You will also find Todd very active on many MyCollect Groups.

Todd continues to hunt for Deep Mirror Proof-Like dollars with extremely deep mirrors to add to his top-ten MyCollect Set of DMPL Dollars.
