Have you tried rubbing down the cards with a pencil eraser (the white ones, not the pink ones)? This gets rid of the gloss and helps the autograph "stick" to the card. Might be a cheaper alternative to buying a new pen!

Oh okay, they are match attax cards, there not shiney or foil, just standard really a little but glossy. sharpies don't usually smudge but sometimes they do.

Got any other good pens I could try?

I meant the surface of your trading cards!

A very glossy surface means that the ink might be smudged on your picture, because ink doesn't attach very well on glossy trading cards.

It also depends on the material you're using to be signed!
