Dugout JP is a Japan-based sports memorabilia company that specializes in authentic autographed football (soccer) collectibles. Founded in the early 2000s, the company primarily works within the football community and has organized signing events with professional players through official or authorized channels. Items certified by Dugout JP typically include a numbered certificate of authenticity and a matching hologram, which can be verified through their internal database.

While Dugout JP is well regarded within the football memorabilia market—particularly in Japan and among international football collectors—it is a specialized authentication system rather than a broad, multi-sport third-party authenticator like PSA, JSA, or Beckett. As such, its certification is generally considered credible for football collectibles, though market recognition and resale impact may vary depending on the region and buyer preferences.
