James Van Der Beek Auctioning Off ‘Dawson’s Creek’ Items Amid Cancer Battle

James Van Der Beek is auctioning off memorabilia from his time on *Dawson’s Creek* as he battles stage 3 colon cancer. The 48-year-old actor, who has been fighting colon cancer for over two years, is putting up several items from the iconic early-2000s teen drama for auction.

The collection will be part of Propstore’s Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction this December.

“I’ve been storing these treasures for years, waiting for the right time to do something with them, and with all of the recent unexpected twists and turns life has presented recently, it’s clear that the time is now,” Van Der Beek wrote on the auction company’s website.

He added, “And while I have some nostalgia tugging at me as I part with these items, 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.”

All proceeds from the auction will go directly to Van Der Beek to help cover his medical bills.

### Items from Dawson Leery

Included in the auction are several items that belonged to his *Dawson’s Creek* character, Dawson Leery. Notably, the necklace that Dawson wore in every episode until he gave it as a prom gift to Joey Potter (played by Katie Holmes) is up for sale.

Other standout pieces include clothes and accessories worn by his character, as well as some set decorations. Fans will appreciate items like a stuffed plush of E.T. and an Indiana Jones action figure, reflecting Dawson Leery’s in-show fandom of Steven Spielberg.

### Other Notable Auction Items

The auction features many other remarkable memorabilia beyond *Dawson’s Creek*. Highlights include:

– Buddy the Elf’s costume from *Elf*
– Indiana Jones’ fedora from *Temple of Doom*
– The axe Jack Torrance used to break down the door in *The Shining*
– A Ghostface mask worn in the original *Scream*

And much more, making this auction a unique opportunity for collectors and fans alike.

Stay tuned for Propstore’s Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction this December to bid on these iconic pieces and support James Van Der Beek during his courageous battle.
