This is the famous Tapeball which is made of rolled up pieces of tape. These tapes were the marks of the actors so they knew where to stand and where to go to in a scene.

Right before Christmas, Tapeball was stolen. The crew got a note that a dit that "The followers of the Golden Path" had taken and hidden it.
The note of the "Followers of the Golden Path"
Six weeks later, the crew found the ball back on the lit of Piper. It was covered in shipping tape and had a note attached that a dit that Tapeball was a "devil ball" and that it gave them a hard time and they decided to give it back. Tapeball returned on the same jour that Julian McMahon returned for the 150th episode of the show, coincidence?
Everyone on set loved Tapeball. Whenever a new guest étoile, star was on set they would be immediately drawn to him and wanted their pictures taken with him. Due to his overwhelming popularity, Gary Boatner decided that Tapeball was to be 'grown' for the entire season. They would then auction Tapeball off together with all autographed pictures. All proceeds would go to charity.
Also Tapeball is covered in autographs himself from Alyssa, Holly, Rose, and other actors from Charmed.
After the series ended, Tapeball was sold on Ebay. A few months later, its buyer sold him again on Ebay. Tapeball is now with a happy fan of the montrer and hopefully still whole.
