The hot stamping is clear, with a laser mark. It's not junk. The black and gold lychee-grained cowhide leather is durable and high-quality. Highly recommended! This is a rare find in specialty stores, so feel free to buy it. The card capacity is quite good. It comes with a box, making it perfect for gifts or personal use. This is a used, refurbished item. It comes with packaging and ships brand new. If you like it, feel free to purchase it directly, or you can accept a premium.
