It is definitely thick cardboard with a faux leather outer coating of some kind. No way it is real leather. If you could see/feel/touch it in person, you'd see...

Doesn't matter much though, as it will never sell... unless he accepts an offer at about 1/12 of his asking price.

It's vegetable tanned pigskin with a painted surface, dry as a bone. Definitely not a top line model, but not cardboard either.

Well, perhaps not technically cardboard... But I had an identical example that could be torn apart like paper (with very little effort).

Not like any type of leather I have ever seen, felt, touched, smelled, etc. Much thinner, and no softness, suppleness or pliability whatsoever. He needs to divide his BIN price by 10, for any legimate shot at selling it.
