The Richelieu belongs to the Limited Artisan Edition, which is not actively marketed by Montblanc. Owing to the high issue prices and the narrow collector circle, the value can after the first sale initially fall, especially with quick resale e.g. via eBay. Well-marketed, e.g. via auction houses, higher prices are possible. Ranges like Writers Edition or Patron of the Arts benefit more strongly from collectors who aim for complete series; with Skeleton and Artisan editions this is hardly possible due to high prices and small quantities. A reliable value forecast is not possible; a pleasing design and low limitation can have a positive effect.
