Need a Roadshow fix?
If you just can't get enough of the Antiques Roadshow, tune in for Fame & Fortune on May 29 at 8 p.m. ET on PBS.

"Antiques Roadshow looks beyond myth to the market with Fame and Fortune, a special edition spotlighting celebrities, big-shots, and headliners through objects connected to their lives," according to the promo card.

Highlights will include the first mask ever worn by Clayton Moore in 1951. How many people even remember who Clayton Moore was? I still watch Lone Ranger reruns almost every day.

Another interesting item is James Dean's 1948 high school yearbook signed with his name and nickname, which was "Rack."

I was at the taping in Indianapolis when the yearbook was brought in. It was estimated to be worth $3,000-$3,500. The Lone Ranger's mask was valued at $25,000. But, Seriously, can you put a price on the Lone Ranger's mask? It seems wrong somehow.

How'd he get the nickname Rack. I don't think I've ever seen a Lone Ranger episode in my life....

Does anybody know why James Dean's nickname was Rack? As a huge James Dean fan, I'd be curious to know...
