Behold: the official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons wallet from 1983, complete with ID card, change purse, dollar bill pocket and photo holders, fashioned from the finest grade-A yellow plastic. TSR sure produced some odd tie-in merch back in the day.

This particular AD&D wallet came into my possession in a circuitous way that may (or may not) amuse you.

It was originally owned by an acquaintance, who posted on his Instagram that he was leaving it on his front porch, free for whoever got there first. Which, holy cow. Several friends informed me of this and I hit up my pal (and long time member of my RPG group) Ed, who happened to live a few blocks away. He was just about to head over to snag it when we learned the wallet was already gone. There was much lamenting among my RPG group that day. Mostly by me. I lamented enough to make up for the rest of them.

It turns out, though, that another acquaintance grabbed the wallet with the intention of giving it to my pal Shawn, who is also in my RPG group and had actually been lamenting the loss of the wallet nearly as much as I was, right up to the moment his pal gave it to him. Shawn lorded this over me in a friendly way, and I cursed him and all his descendants (also in a friendly way).

Back in November, when Shawn got married, I was his best man and, well, he gave me the wallet as a token of appreciation. Which, considering we’ve been rolling dice together for for nearly 30 years, is about the best token of appreciation I could imagine.

Gonna be totally honest: if these things weren’t so scarce, I would totally use it as my wallet.
