How do you tell if a baseball card is glossy?

Answer 1

In order to determine if a Baseball card is glossy, you need to look at the exterior of the card. If it is shiny and has no scratches, chances are it is glossy. Also, the sides must have rounded corners to be considered glossy.

Answer 2

A glossy card has been polished with a lil bit of English, or has been laminated, with a shiny layer of plastic over it.
