No. Don't use photo paper to make them. Use the thicker card stock paper and cut them down to size. If you are going to do this, it is recommended that you purchase a paper cutter. It can be a bit of an expense to buy one, but can come in handy to make your own custom index cards (often refered to by the abbreviation CIC). You can use a trading card that is junk to you for a template.
As for the autograph cards, I have some of the baseball ones and they come in handy from time to time for IP autographs. I always carry them with me when I go to a game just in case.

Basically, they are more like a matte-type finish, sort of like the old-style trading cards.
