I'm in Canada. 99.999% of the baseball collecting world is not. I have to prevent each and every label from reading "steal me", each and every time. Sometimes, this has caused problems at Customs when they feel it isn't specific enough. Well, my description wasn't dishonest--I'm simply trying to avoid others' dishonesty, so tough luck to them. Cards are always "cards", never trading cards, or much worse, "sportscards". I could go the "Printed Matter" route, but could see where they could accuse me of deception if they wanted to get nitpicky. An autographed baseball? "Ball". I would relish them calling me up and trying to challenge that what I sent wasn't a ball. It's not our fault the system is full of thieves.
"Ball" might cause enough curiosity to a theif. May make the switch to "orb". J/K
If I was shipping a Ruth game used bat, should I go the flowery old Mastro route? "Contents: Mighty Thor's Hammer"? Nah. Too many comic book/memorabilia thieves would confuse it for some stupid comic or movie collectible.
