A dull finish is usually a bad sign. Also wear and abuse can be spotted by looking at the marks on the label around the spindle hole. If there are a bunch, it has been handled roughly by someone who can't see the spindle or does not care how they slam it on there. general condition of the jacket and sleeve is also an indicator of how many times it was used and how well it has been kept.
As the other fellow mentioned, even a record that looks perfect can have groove noise from being played with a damaged cartridge or a table that has not been properly set-up.
