IMPORTANT CLUB UPDATE: New Membership Pricing

The Art of the Keepsake: Why Now is the Moment for Your Hummel Collection

There is a specific kind of magic in the weight of a M.I. Hummel figurine. For those of us who have spent years—or even decades—curating these hand-painted Bavarian treasures, we know they are more than just porcelain. They are snapshots of childhood innocence, preserved through a level of craftsmanship that is becoming increasingly rare in our fast-paced world.

As we approach the transition from Club Year 49 into the milestone of CY50 this June, I’ve been reflecting on what it takes to keep this tradition alive.

Maintaining the Artisanal Standard

The beauty of a Hummel lies in the details: the gentle feathering of a brushstroke, the soft, earthy palettes, and the meticulous mold-making process that takes place in Germany. To maintain these high standards while navigating the complexities of global trade and rising material costs, a pricing adjustment is necessary.

• Annual Membership: $150.00 ($172.50 inclusive of the 15% US Tariff)

• Annual Companion Figurine: $250.00 ($287.50 inclusive of the 15% US Tariff)

These changes ensure that the artisans behind the scenes can continue to produce the quality we expect, ensuring that the Hummel legacy remains untarnished for the next generation of collectors.

A Window of Opportunity

While change is a sign of growth, savvy collectors know that timing is everything. If you are looking to complete your CY49 set or have been eyeing a specific companion figurine, the next few weeks are your "golden window."

You have until March 31st, 2026, to lock in the current, lower rates.

Whether you are looking to renew your membership or fulfill a back-order for a previous year, acting before the April 1st deadline is the most practical way to grow your display. It’s the perfect moment to ensure your collection stays current before we step into the historic CY50 celebrations this June.
