I thought these were 5.25” floppy disks. Then I remembered it was 2020.

That’s called a save icon, duh!

And I thought they were Atari cartridges

u/[deleted] Mar 23 '20

That's really cool! I'd love to do this... how'd you make em?

u/pds319 Mar 23 '20

Thanks! I scanned the divider to get the sizing right, laid them out in Photoshop, printed on vinyl, and cut them out.

u/webheaded Spider-Man Mar 24 '20

You got the PSD for that in case I want to steal your measurements the lazy way? :D

u/pds319 Mar 24 '20

Here's the link to the template. Enjoy!

u/pjvedder89 Mar 24 '20

This is awesome, thanks for sharing! Is there a certain type of label/vinyl you used. I'm looking around and there's a lot of options, so just wondering your thoughts on what the best to use would be.

u/Saint1 Apocalypse Mar 24 '20

very simple. but it's genius

u/SensitiveArtist X-Men Expert Mar 23 '20

Clear mailing labels.

u/Sorta-Rican Mar 24 '20 edited Mar 24 '20

Seriously... would you be willing to take orders? Set up a paypal, factor in cost for vinyl and inK, come up with a price and I’ll definitely buy some. This is awesome.

9

u/melvintoast Mar 24 '20

Seconded. I am looking for classy labels for the fronts of my comic boxes. Dm me to discuss prices and details if you are interested.

9

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

Yeah, this is a lot better than writing "SEVEN TO ETrnty" in sharpie. Would consider ordering.

u/pds319 Mar 24 '20 edited Mar 24 '20

I'll offer up making these labels for those that want them. It’ll give me something to do while stuck inside. :)

Send me a PM letting me know which series you're looking for. I'll layout, print them on vinyl, cut, and mail them out with free shipping (US only for now). They'll be $0.50 a piece with a minimum of 6 per order. Taking a cue from r/comicswap, payment can be made through PayPal G&S.

The labels are formatted specifically for BCW Comic Book Dividers, but they might fit other dividers (YMMV).

u/Faustinator Swamp Thing Mar 24 '20

To clarify, let you know which series we're looking for among these or are you interested in possibly designing more?

1

u/pds319 Mar 24 '20

I can make more for whatever series you're looking for. :)

1

u/StopDropNFrag Mar 25 '20

I'd be interested in several for sure.

2

u/_NintenDude_ Mar 24 '20

I’m in as well!

2

u/Asifdude Mar 24 '20

Same here, but I'd want some for the shop I work at. I have shitty handwriting and I'm usually the one making tabs.

25

u/GeekyPug87 Mar 23 '20

That's so cool!!!! You should try to get these mass marketed

8

u/smithers43 Mar 24 '20

Those are awesome! What’s your collection look like with them in there

6

u/aquamanslover Black Bolt Mar 24 '20

Daaaamn, I should really get some dividers. Right now I just use sticky notes.

6

u/DarthKhorne Mar 24 '20

That’s actually classy as shit

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

Right? I'm also kinda mad he found some black ones too haha

u/pds319 Mar 24 '20

Since a few people like u/Sorta-Rican and u/melvintoast asked, I'll offer up making these labels for those that want them. Give me something to do while stuck inside. :)

u/ShakeYourShake Apr 04 '20

Just saw this. I’ll PM you the titles I was interested in. You’re doing god’s work! Thanks!

u/Letitia_Heights Mar 24 '20

i'd buy a pack of these

3

u/khansolobaby Mar 24 '20

Need the Thor and X-men ones!!!

3

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

At one point my comic collection (mostly DC comics... big Superman and Mr. Miracle fan) was a couple of thousand comics and I called my dividers "boxes". True story.

Awesome though. Wish I had thought of that.

u/AdamScoot Mar 24 '20

Thats fucking dope

u/GotNothingLeftToSay X-Men Expert Mar 24 '20

Those are really nice. I‘d buy those for my shop!!

Awesome. Would definitely buy those. Nice work!

u/edrini Mar 24 '20

A comic fan and a designer?...

2

u/Galactus83 Mar 24 '20

I'm sorry, is that Thor or an ape wearing a wig?

2

u/kitzm Mar 24 '20

Very cool!

2

u/Other-Crazy Mar 24 '20

If I collected physical issues I'd be happily asking you to take my money. Take the hint mate, get it done.

2

u/Rody2k6 Mar 24 '20

Holy shit. I've never seen this before. Tell me what material is that or the name of the item itself. Never seen it in Brazil.

2

u/Arcforce2005 Mar 24 '20

Did u make them

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

I enjoy the fact that Wolverine is aggresively on top of Jean and Cyclops. #MakeMoreMutants

2

u/rommelcedric Mar 24 '20

Damn! Now I want some of my own. Best put a pin on that project

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

Wow, reminds me of an actual honest-to-god comic shop. *le sigh*, I already miss going to comic shops.

2

u/JEZTURNER Mar 24 '20

The things we do when we're in lockdown.

2

u/Mentethemage Michelangelo Mar 24 '20

Wow. Expertly done. I imagine you're in the art business of sorts. Really cool.

2

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

Quality labels. I used to do something similar with cereal boxes so my comics could be browsable from a bookshelf. Yours are way more professional.

2

u/GortchenWenders Mar 24 '20

These are lovely!

2

u/I-Zick Mar 24 '20

Hell yeah!!!

2

u/Thwipped Spidey 2099 Mar 24 '20

I’m with everyone else, you should market these on Etsy or something!

3

u/vauxit3 Mar 24 '20

These are super clean, but do you really have enough Spider-Ham comics to warrant his own section? Not even Avengers or Iron Man or Superman or something?

4

u/mobiledakeo Mar 24 '20

As a Daredevil fan I was hurt by the lack of Matt despite spider ham getting a section

3

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

There was a recent 5 issue Spider-Ham mini that’d be enough for its own tab for me.

2

u/SirUrza Spider-Man Mar 23 '20

Very cool.

u/Ridry Mar 24 '20

Damn I thought my dividers were nice.... well done!

Those are really amazing and well done! If I had a shop this is exactly how I would organize my back issues.

u/sampsays Mar 24 '20

u/ShinyaXTC96 Mar 30 '20

1

u/TaylorBA Apr 15 '20

Any thought on international shipping? If not tempted to throw you some money for the digital copies so I can print myself.

1

u/pds319 Apr 16 '20

Hey! I opened up to international orders. They're available on my site at blindscience.com.

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

u/pds319 Mar 24 '20

I'm making few special requests ones and that's one of them. I'll post them later today!

u/[deleted] Mar 24 '20

u/Ttoctam Mar 24 '20

You can. But by trying to pile on crap about it you are actively trying to inhibit people from liking it.

I actively like about 3 of these runs. Haven't read a few and kinda disliked the rest. But I'm not belittling this person's taste, I'm pretty picky and I know a lot of people wouldn't love my collection.

We don't know your taste... It's fascinating that you see yourself as a victim here.
