What do you guys do/what are the different ways of prepping a card so that when a player signs it, the sharpie is solid, and not streaky???

Staedtler - they are carried at art supply shops.

Rub it down with your thumb or a fabric such as denim to remove the gloss.

exactly.
i like the white erasers in the click pencils instead of the pink erasers on top of wooded pencils. the white erasers seem to be less coarse or abrasive on glossy cards.
*it may be obvious but some people just don't know*
you will want to rub off the eraser remnants left on the card.
the same goes for finger prints. if you use your finger to dull the glossy area they might sign, rub that area with your shirt to remove those finger print streaks.

Even rubbing them down/eraser/baby powder sometimes you still get bubbles streaks on glossy cards. One reason why I like Allen Ginter/ Heritage and even UD First edition products. Non glossy and they look great signed.
I have heard that Staedtler markers are great on glossy surfaces, that they turn out really nice. Might have to buy one of those myself and test out.

I've never had a problem with using baby powder. It might be messy, but I don't mind, I don't get much signed.
