\n\tJames Van Der Beek<\/a> is opening up his personal collection of film and television memorabilia to fans of such projects as Dawson\u2019s Creek<\/a> and Varsity Blues<\/a>. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe selected items from his own archives will hit the block for the first time as part of Propstore\u2019s Winter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction<\/a> that takes places Dec. 5-7. All proceeds will be used to help finance the 48-year-old actor\u2019s fight following his diagnosis with stage 3 colorectal cancer in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n

\n\tAmong the highlights from the collection is a necklace, seen below, that Van Der Beek\u2019s character Dawson Leery gifted to Joey Porter (as played by Katie Holmes) on the teen drama series Dawson\u2019s Creek. The necklace is estimated to sell for upwards of $50,000. Also hitting the block are the white shirt and tan pants that the character wore in the 1998 pilot episode, with the pair likely to hit $4,000.<\/p>\n

\n\tOther available items include the flannel button-down shirt that Dawson wore throughout the series and a collection of props from Dawson\u2019s bedroom. This includes the Indiana Jones model kit and E.T. doll that were seen throughout the show as belonging to the character, who was a Steven Spielberg superfan. <\/p>\n

\n\tAdditionally, Van Der Beek is auctioning off a pair of cleats and a hat that he wore in the 1999 high school football film Varsity Blues. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019ve 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\u2019s clear that the time is now,\u201d Van Der Beek said in a statement. \u201cWhile I have some nostalgia tugging at me as I part with these items, it feels good to be able to offer them through Propstore\u2019s auction to share with those who have supported my work over the years.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tIn September, Van Der Beek canceled his planned attendance<\/a> at a Dawson\u2019s Creek event due to illness. The live reading of the show\u2019s pilot script was organized as a benefit for nonprofit organization F Cancer. <\/p>\n

\n\tWinter Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction takes place in London and consists of more than 1,350 lots, with Van Der Beek\u2019s items hitting the block on Dec. 6. The Hollywood Reporter reported last week that one highlight from the event is Boba Fett\u2019s blaster<\/a> from The Empire Strikes Back that is likely to sell for upwards of $1 million. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"James Van Der Beek is opening up his personal collection of film and television memorabilia to fans of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":288171,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[8532,88,97,39781,151482],"class_list":["post-288170","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","tag-auction","tag-entertainment","tag-health","tag-james-van-der-beek","tag-varsity-blues"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288170","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=288170"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/288170\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/288171"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=288170"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=288170"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=288170"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
