Incredible Hulk Custom Card Opinions Needed!

[Triple B]

I'm trying to decide how I want to create a custom cut autograph of the late (and in my opinion, GREAT!) Bill Bixby.

I have a check/cheque that I purchased from a reputable dealer in LA signed by Mr. Bixby on the front and also endorsed on the back. The sigs do not overlap, so my intent is to do a cut sig card of Bill Bixby and then to do a dual cut card of Bill Bixby and Lou Ferrigno (Ferrigno I can either get from his website or from the same dealer).

Here's my dilemma...should I create a card somehow using the graphics (which are little to none) from the original TV series or should I modernize it and use graphics from the current movie? I'm torn...this will be for my PC and NOT for resale.

Any thoughts?

Solely my opinion here, but putting Bixby on anything but the original series would just be plain wrong!

A dual with him and Ferrigno, though, sounds cool.

You should be able to get graphics from the DVD releases. Seasons 1-4 are already out, and it looks like S5 is coming out next week (what timing!). With a custom card like this, even if you don't own any of the seasons renting at least a couple of discs'-worth of episodes from your neighborhood Blockbuster or through Netflix wouldn't be unreasonable.

Useless trivia: Richard Kiel (a.k.a. Jaws) auditioned for and was hired for the part of the green giant but was shortly replaced by Ferrigno.

Another vote for using images from the original series - no way you can use images from the new Hulk films without wishing you hadn't.

Like was said above, rent / buy the DVDs and use screen grabs - I'm sure you would eventually find an image you like.

Make it 3 for 3, you can't use an original auto without an original pic. The only other option that I'd consider would be a pure comic image and that way it's not in conflict with the show in any way.

You guys are right...I think for the dual I'm going to do something with this image...

I'll have to find something for the single with Bill Bixby.
