Maybe I'm a little dense, but I'm having a difficult time understanding the logic here.

You stated in your post: "...has had to sell his collection to meet unpaid bills."

But also in the post you stated: "...with all proceeds going to Cancer Research."

Here's my confusion; If he's selling his collection because he needs the money to pay his bills, then why on earth are the proceeds going to cancer research?

I'm sure I must be missing something here.
