Actor James Van Der Beek to Sell Dawson's Creek Treasures in Auction Bid to Pay for Cancer Treatment
In a bid to raise funds for his cancer treatment, actor James Van Der Beek is set to sell off some of his most treasured memorabilia from iconic roles, including the hit TV series Dawson's Creek. The collection, which includes a worn-out outfit from the pilot episode and a prized hat from the 1999 film Varsity Blues, will go under the hammer at Propstore's Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction.
Van Der Beek, best known for his breakout role as Joey Potter on Dawson's Creek, has previously revealed his cancer diagnosis and has continued to work, appearing in various projects including a movie and an episode of the rebooted Walker series. The actor has now turned to auctioning off cherished items from his past to help cover the exorbitant costs of treatment.
The decision to part with his prized possessions comes as the financial burden of cancer care in the US continues to mount. According to estimates, the National Cancer Institute predicts that cancer-related expenses will reach $209 billion nationally by 2020, with individual patients facing average costs of around $150,000 for treatment.
For Van Der Beek, selling off his cherished items is a bittersweet experience. While he acknowledges the sentimental value attached to each piece, he believes it's essential to share these mementos with fans who have supported him throughout his career. "While I have some nostalgia tugging at me as I part with these items," he said, "it feels good to be able to offer them through Propstore's auction to share with those who have supported my work over the years."

, but at the same time, cancer treatment is super expensive and it makes sense that he wants to help pay for his own treatment. It's like, you know when you're struggling financially or dealing with a big medical bill? That can be super overwhelming. So yeah, I get why he's doing this, even though it's bittersweet for him because those items hold so much sentimental value 
. But hey, it'll be awesome to see some of his memorabilia up for auction - I might have to bid on something myself! 
i feel bad for james van der beek, cancer is such a bummer 
but at least he's getting all these cool dawson's creek stuff off his hands, that worn-out outfit from the pilot episode must be worth some serious cash 
. and honestly, it's kinda nice that he's using this as an opportunity to share his treasured memories with fans who've been supporting him all these years 
. i'm sure whoever buys those memorabilia will love 'em just as much as james does 
. i mean, who wouldn't want to own a piece of dawson's creek history? 
but what's crazy is how much cancer treatment costs in the us right now... $150k+ for treatment? that's just wild 
. anyway, i hope james gets through this and comes out stronger on the other side 
. let's all send him some love 
. Props to Propstore for hosting the auction too! They're supporting a great cause and helping James raise some serious cash 
.
Not that I'm saying he's being greedy or anything. But have you seen the prices these memorabilia auctions are going for lately? Like, a worn-out outfit from Dawson's Creek could be sold for thousands of dollars? It's a bit much if you ask me. 
.
but idk why he gotta do it i mean we get it cancer aint cheap 
anyway idk who's gonna bid on that worn-out dawson outfit tho 
. It's not just about the money; it's about the memories and experiences that come with those items 
. Can't wait for the auction to happen!
... like, didn't he earn enough from all those years of fame? cancer treatment is expensive, I get it, but can't he just take a break from acting for a sec and focus on getting better? or maybe they'll end up with some rich collector who's just dying to own a piece of Dawson's Creek history
