As the proud owner of 8,000 autographs, I can say that balls are much trickier than paper items. On a non-glossy paper item fading seems much less of a problem, and a variety of pens work well, whether it's a felt tip or ballpoint. Sharipes do seem to bleed/fade (change color) on paper as well. Ballpoint pends seem to do very well on balls or peper, though the writing is not as bold as with a sharpie. On colorful, large or darker items, like a poster or trading card, ballpionts are often to thin and timid to standout, and a sharie might be best despite its problems.
