Jaffer, some online printing services offer the choice of matte, but gloss is normally the default choice pay to ask/ look for options. If you're printing yourself, shops like Staples etc usually offer reams of matte paper to order.

I'd go with matte too. I have not had a problem with people signing on matte photos but on glossy it sometimes gets messed up.
EVERY REQUEST INCLUDES A SASE, INDEX CARD FOR "SLIGHT" PROTECTION AND LOR!!
NONE OF MY AUTOGRAPHS ARE FOR SALE!!! THEY ARE FOR MY PERSONAL COLLECTION ONLY!!!
Autograph collecting is a hobby of mine. It is not meant to be anything for profit nor beyond my enjoyment. I only send out to people I have deep respect for in their profession/field. I send out to the following but not limited to: professional/college athletes/coaches, actors/actresses from TV shows, artists/authors, voice actors/actresses, and any other random celebrity I love/respect. I try to respect everyone's privacy the best I can.
Feel free to private message me about anything. I'm always willing to help if I can. Just do not demand addresses/advice. Be chill about it and I'll definitely be of some help! Aggression and entitlement gets nothing.
Best advice I can give everyone about autograph collecting through the mail are the 3 P's:
BE POLITE!!!
BE POSITIVE!!!
BE PATIENT!!!

Always get my photos printed on matte for the very reason everyone stated... no smudging!

I prefer matte. Glossy photos gets finger prints all over them. I don't have that problem with matte photos. And I like the look of matte photos better.

Re: matte vs glossy?
I like soft gloss. I don't like the matte feel. Soft gloss doesn't smudge/fingerprint like regular gloss does. I found it in a kodak brand but I use an HP printer to print it all myself.
