I'm looking for BCW Horizontal trading card dividers so I can finish up the last leg of organizing my collection. Like everything else, they're backordered and am wondering if anyone may have some that they'd part with for a reasonable price?

Thanks, 

Bill

I just make my own from a template and any old piece of cardboard from a recycled box.  They don't look to be that expensive but recycled cardboard has a seemingly unlimited supply for free as long as you order anything on the internet or eat stuff that comes in a box and have a pair of scissors.  What am I missing that makes these great?

"Card dividers" are so easy to make on your own that I don't see why anyone buys them from other companies. I make mine with the "filler" cards from packs and just add a strip of masking tape to the top to stick up above the cards and I write the needed info on the tape. I also came across a bunch of index cards done about the same way in my last collection acquisition. BUYING card dividers for a box just seems stupid and wasteful to me. I didn't mean to offend you Bill and I hope I didn't. I have boxes from 200-card to 5,000-card counts and I haven't paid a cent to sort them or add dividers. I DO have divider-cards, but they are as described above. Index Cards cut down to the width of cards and writting on the part sticking up above the cards in the box works really well. If you want a longer-term solution, put them in toploaders or CardSavers. Itstill works the same depending on the box that you are storing the cards.

One thing that I will add that I am not sure if the dividers do or not (and a regular card will not).  You can make your template wide enough so that it acts as not only a divider but also a "stopper".   If you don't have a full row in your box it will prevent all of the cards that you do have from coming forward or backward depending on where you place it.  Plus you label it with the set/year it is holding as mentioned above so it can serve multiple purposes (divide, label, stop).  Recycles and saves putting that cardboard into a landfill as an added bonus.  Triple bonus would be making it into a fun craft project with kids.

Bill, have you tried eBay?  I found these at a decent price.  Also, sometimes I use the regular sized vertical ones and trim a little off to make it fit in a horizontal box.  You don't get the tab with that approach, but they still make a visible division.  I use them to mark the #100, #200, etc card spot in a set.

Thnaks Bpaul..I actually found some on eBay which will tide me over until mine ship from BCW in October..I use these primarily to separate certain cards by year..
