Last night about 7:00 PM, my wife and I got a call from my son Joshua with news we didn’t expect. “Daddy, Grandmother didn’t pick me up from soccer tonight,” he said. That took a little time to sink in, since Vickie and I are in Palm Springs. At first we thought that maybe Grandma had misunderstood what she was supposed to do, thinking Joshua was going to walk home. Unfortunately, this didn’t prove to be the case.

Joshua’s coach took him home and discovered that our car wasn’t there, and Joshua’s Grandmother was no place to be found. Time now seemed to stand still for a while. We had no choice but to call the police, and we did. Some time later, the police located our car in the parking lot of a Walgreens drug store about a mile from where we live, but no Grandmother yet in sight. We can’t figure out why she would’ve been there when there’s a Walgreens about half a block from our house she could walk to.

The purpose of this letter was to ask for your prayers for my family. Just yesterday, I wrote about how we at the 31 Club are family and we would pray for each other if someone asked. I’m asking for your prayers now. Please pray that she is found and is safe and well.

News Update:

I can now tell you that our loved one, Vickie’s stepmother, was just found and is just fine. You can imagine how upset she was after being lost in a city she wasn’t familiar with for over four hours. You can’t imagine how the tears are flowing here in California. I would like to change my request for prayer to one of praise and of thanking G-d for his mercy and protection

I am really drained, so with your permission, I will ask that this suffice as my blog for today, and I just thank you for being here.

Hummel’s Discontinued

This is of no surprise to me and it shouldn’t be to you. I have been saying this was going to happen for over a year. Even if someone does take over the manufacturing of these cute little figures it won’t be the same and the prices will have to drop tremendously for them to sell. When I began to see examples of the Hummel figurines that listed in the price guide for $500 selling as low as $75, I knew there was a crisis coming for the collector.

I have written about the couple that had a collection valued at $250,000 by the guide, sat aside, for their retirement that today would not bring $35,000. You may have thought that your portfolio has dropped in value over the last six months but I would say you’re lucky compared to this couple.

But don’t despair there may be a silver lining here. “ How could that be” well, let me tell you. The true collectors are still there but they will be looking for only the best and at better prices than in the past. This is where you come in because as prices drop people will sell the rare and the ordinary for near the same price giving you a great opportunity to cash in if you know the difference. In the future, only the Crown and Full Bee Hummels will really command prices that will put money into your pocket. For this reason, I would advise you to buy nothing below these marks unless by purchasing a whole collection it even brings the price you pay for the rare ones even lower.

My rule until I finally quit buying the Hummels was 25% of the book but today I would lower that to 10-15 %. You may think that this is to low but I guarantee you that they can be purchased at this price today. This would be a great time to advertise for Hummel collections because a few thousand dollars could go a long ways in purchasing a hundred or more of these today and this would assure you of a nifty profit when they are all sold.

PRODUCTION OF HUMMEL FIGURINES TO STOP SOON

PRODUCTION OF HUMMEL FIGURINES TO STOP SOON
Goebel Germany is stopping production of Hummel figurines on October 31, 2008. Demand has dropped to one third of expected sales. They will sell the figurines as long as they have supplies. We spoke to Carrie Kulak, the American media contact, and she said the 2008 International Club Convention in Germany October, 17th and 18th is cancelled. An announcement will be made in Germany at a special event on the 18th about the “solution” to the question “will there be more Hummels?” We are sure the rights to make the figurines will go to another manufacturer. Will prices for old Hummels go up or down? What do you think?
