You could just put an empty comic box (magazine size for slabs) in the drawer first, and then fill it.  The box sides are the walls.  If the box is too long, you could do some creative cutting and taping to make it the right size.  It no longer has to be super sturdy, since the weight is being held by the drawer itself.

If you can't get the box in because the drawer does not open fully, you can usually remove each drawer, put the box in, replace the drawer.  If you don't like the cardboard "look" as you view the comics, you could trim the box down to half height or so.   That way it is less conspicuous.

Well I was considering the idea of using poster board to make a customized boxed in area that could also be adjusted with little slits made into the board but was unsure if it wasn’t a good idea because it isn’t acid free 

I’ve been needing to get a filing cabinet, but wasn’t able to afford one. 
Well my sister had one she needed to get rid of so I jumped at the chance. After placing a couple “test” comics in, k realized I was going to have issues. It’s  a 18 x 14.25 x 27.32 inches. Which I believe is the cabinet itself considering it won’t fit two comics side by side. Any suggestions on making “walls” of sort for a single row of comics? 

As you can already tell, i'm a noob. 

But my question is: Is there any benefit to submitting comics in bulk or one at a time? are there discounts? is it cheaper? etc. 

I personally was wanting to have all my issues in my personal collection graded, for preservation and presentation. Although I watched a YouTube video explaining why not all your comics are “worthy” of this. Thoughts and opinions on this? 

One of my comic books that I just bought (off eBay....) was advertised as NM. I was super excited to receive it until I noticed the slightest tear in the upper left corner. Can't be more than a couple mm if that. I'm no expert, in fact I'm only getting ready to ship my first order in for CGC to grade, but this defect automatically disqualifies a NM grading, right?

How much of a knockdown can something like this have on a grade?
