Card Prep for TTM, Please Help ?!

[antoine38]

Hey I am going to send away a bunch of ttm's soon but want to know
what the consensus is on prepping the cards before they send.
I know that with the glossy ones you can get a bubbled or smeared auto,
so what have people found best way to avoid this is besides using a more porous card?

Thanks any input is appreciated :)

Best options are to rub it down with a white eraser or a dash of baby powder rubbed around on the surface.

I rub it down with a white eraser, and then rub once or twice on my jeans. Works almost every time for me. The worst cards are the hybrid ones, where the player image is glossy and the rest of the card isn't (Topps Inception, UD SP), those sometimes do not enjoy the eraser treatment.

Lightly rub with a white eraser. In my experience the baby powder gives a weird sig and sometimes the marker is on the powder not the card.
