How do I prepare a glossy card for a sharpie auto?

[CISCOKID23]

I have a few of the USA baseball cards I want to get signed at the USC-UCLA game. They are very glossy , do I need to do anything to them or will the sharpie be ok on them ?

Staedler has a great Charcoal eraser that seemed to work pretty well. It's black.

Gum erasers work pretty well as well.

Dust them with johnson and johnsons baby powder. Wipe them clean and they're all set.

baby powder

just in the area where the auto goes..or does it matter to just dust the whole card

where ever he signs, it needs to be rubbed down. The question thus becomes where will the player sign.

Bauer and Cole are both really nice, you should be able to get them both. Bauer might pitch tomorrow so that could be a problem.
