Coincidentally, I picked up an apparent D381 at the Shriner show and wondered if it's a good idea to slab those, whatever the grade.

The one I came by is trimmed more than usual, with DAN MURPHY CATCHER PHIL AL taped on its own tab to the bottom:

I assume grading companies will reject the card if I leave that tab taped on, so would submitting it mean removing (carefully) all possible tape and residue? Anything else to keep in mind when doing so?

I've wanted to add a Black Swamp E98 to my collection, and snagged one last night...

You really should call whichever grading company you want to use and ask them. My guess would be they would not slab the card with the extra paper at bottom. Without it they would probably give an AUT but ya' never know. These are on paper thin stock so protecting them in a slab isn't a bad idea.

Thanks Leon, will do! No problem removing the "tab" from my side.
