I wonder how much a weakest link podium weighs.

I don't doubt the authenticity of the items (years ago, I saw that Hit Me set piece loaded on a trailer), but I'd like to call attention to the description of briefcase 24 from Deal or No Deal. . I don't doubt that Heritage Auctions got that particular briefcase from some official source, but I don't think it's the briefcase that Markle opened.

IIRC, Meghan was usually with suitcase #10.

Heritage Auctions claims that it was the briefcase that Meghan Markle used during her time on the show. However, I remember the typeface on the exterior of the briefcases being some kind of Helvetica, which is confirmed by doing an image search for pictures from the show -- including pictures of Meghan Markle standing next to briefcase 24. I don't doubt that Heritage Auctions got that particular briefcase from some official source, but I don't think it's the briefcase that Markle opened.

This was my immediate thought on seeing the item. I'm trying to think where a not-quite-real case like that could come from. Maybe a promotional event or some.sort.of.lottery tie-in?
EDIT: Browsed the listings a bit and there's an alleged dartboard from the set of "Cheers" that is clearly one of those cheap LCD soft-tip electronic ones, the kind widely available at retail stores... but only for the last 20-25 years. I wonder if there are any other hinky listings.

The DOND card game has the case numbers with this font - maybe a tie in/promo for the card game?
