Membership is just $25/year — here's everything that comes with it.
Your personal rolodex to the decoy collecting world. The directory includes contact information, collecting specialties, and geographic details for every NADCA member — making it easy to find fellow collectors in your region, connect with experts on specific makers, or track down a particular bird you've been searching for.
Stay in the loop with NADCA's newsletters. Each issue features club news, show reports, member profiles, market updates, and in-depth collecting articles written by top experts in the field. You'll receive three digital editions and one print edition per year.
Members enjoy free admission to every event at the North American Vintage Decoy & Sporting Collectibles Show — the largest show of its kind. That includes room-to-room trading, the ballroom dealer event, seminars, carving demonstrations, and networking events. Non-members pay $5 at the door for the Friday–Saturday ballroom show alone.
Join our members-only Facebook group — the most active online community for decoy collectors. Buy, sell, and trade in a trusted environment. Get help identifying unknown decoys. Share your latest finds and learn from collectors across the country. It's like having 800 experts on speed dial.
Access NADCA's growing library of identification guides, historical articles, seminar recordings, and collecting tips. Plus, take advantage of our free decoy identification and appraisal service — send us a photo of your bird and our experts will tell you what you've got.
The real value of NADCA is the people. Connect with experienced collectors who've been in the hobby for decades, auction house professionals, published authors, museum curators, and master carvers. Many of our members credit NADCA connections with their best finds and deepest friendships in the hobby.
Real collectors, real experiences — from members across the country.
I've been a member since 1989 and NADCA has been the single most valuable resource in my collecting journey. The people I've met, the things I've learned, the decoys I've found — none of it would have happened without this community.
I joined as a complete beginner over 40 years ago. Within my first month, I'd connected with collectors in three states. I developed contacts that have become life-long friends all over the country. It is fun and I look forward to each show. The learning never stops.
The annual show alone is worth the membership fee ten times over. But it's the year-round connections — the Facebook group, the directory, the newsletter — that really make NADCA indispensable.
Anyone with an interest in decoy collecting, carving, or sporting collectibles — regardless of experience level. We welcome beginners, seasoned collectors, dealers, carvers, historians, and anyone curious about the hobby.
