To me in my non expert opinion is that it is ok. However, The reverse seems to have some gloss to me which is a concern.

I agree. The back of that card is totally wrong. It should not be glossy like that. If that card is real, then it has likely been covered with a glossy coating that shouldn't be there.

Are the whitish spots on the reverse gloss or wear?

Yeah, what some are seeing as "gloss," I think, is just the white inner part of the cardstock after the surface - both back and front - has been worn away. I don't see anything else on the reverse that looks like gloss. The card is just so beat up that the original surface is worn away in many places.
