That's pretty darned cool! And gives me the chance to share my own Hal Sutherland story :)
Emerald City Comic Con in Seattle, two years ago, I was thumbing through a bunch of super-cheap Filmation animation cels ($20 each) from Star Trek and He-Man, only kind of wondering why they were focused on just those two cartoons. A nice elderly gentleman started up a conversation with me about the cels, how he brought them to the show to sell because he had found a HUGE amount of them in a box and had been told by some art dealer that they were worthless so he'd try to sell them to the fans directly... nice guy! I then found an absolutely BEAUTIFUL "Orko" from Maters of The Universe, paid my $20 and the old man said "Thank you... would you like me to sign it for you?"
THE OLD MAN WAS HAL SUTHERLAND!!! I doubted him at first but then his agent pointed to the sign right there above their booth "Special Appearance By Hal Sutherland"!
So I now own a signed Hal Sutherland "Orko" animation cel!
