The “Warranty of Dieci” 

The Warranty of Dieci constitutes the official authentication standard issued by Dieci Football Entertainment for professional football memorabilia. It is recognized and relied upon by by major memorabilia auctions, football associations, and elite collectors worldwide. Each item submitted for authentication undergoes a comprehensive, expert‑led examination designed to identify the technical, historical, and physical characteristics that distinguish original match‑issued or match‑worn collectibles from retail products, replicas, or otherwise non‑authentic goods.

Only items that satisfy all applicable verification criteria established by Dieci Football Entertainment are eligible to receive a Warranty of Dieci and to be certified as authentic.

Upon successful authentication we issue the Warranty of Dieci that includes:

  • The “Certificate” – a detailed description of the collectible, including its classification as match‑issued or match‑worn or player player‑owned, alongside the declaration of its provenance.
  • Detailed photographic analysis – with the collectible relevant details.
  • The “Collectible History” – which records the item’s original source and documents its subsequent ownership over time, enabling future buyers to verify provenance with confidence.
  • A unique Wod serial number – assigned exclusively to that certificateThe Warranty of Dieci is delivered directly to the client in a customized cardboard cover. At the client’s discretion, the authentication may also be publicly registered on the Dieci Football Entertainment website – www.10footballentertainment.com –  enabling third parties to verify authenticity and ownership as the item is transferred, sold, or otherwise changes possession over time.If, upon examination, a collectible is determined not to be original, we will not issue a Warranty of Dieci. In certain cases, our experts may be unable to reach a conclusive determination regarding authenticity. Such an outcome does not imply that the item is inauthentic; rather, it reflects that the item cannot be verified to Dieci’s required evidentiary standard. In these circumstances, we will decline to issue a Warranty of Dieci in order to avoid any ambiguous or unreliable representation.Through the Warranty of Dieci, we affirm our commitment to accuracy, integrity, and the highest professional standards in the authentication of football memorabilia. Authenticity is not merely represented—it is substantiated through rigorous methodology and expert judgment.

Why?

Collecting football collectibles can be complex, with substantial value depending on accurate and reliable authentication. The risk is real: a shirt believed to be match‑worn may turn out to be a standard retail replica, or a collectible described as authentic may in fact be counterfeit. In a market where provenance determines both value and trust, confidence in authenticity is essential. With a Warranty of Dieci, a collectible becomes more than an object. It becomes a verified piece of football history. Buyers gain absolute confidence. Sellers unlock maximum value. No more guesswork, no more conflicting stories — just clear, independent, expert‑backed authentication. Every item sold by Dieci may be accompanied by the Warranty of Dieci, offering lifetime protection and assurance of authenticity. Should a certified item ever be conclusively proven to be inauthentic, we provide a lifetime reimbursement, ensuring complete peace of mind for collectors. With With Dieci Football Entertainment, you do not simply buy memorabilia. You own verified football history.

How does it Work?

The “Warranty of Dieci” is the leading authentication service for professional football memorabilia. Our team of experts examines every item with exceptional precision, identifying the subtle details and differences that separate true collectibles from standard retail products or replicas. Only items that meet our strict criteria are certified as 100% genuine. Once an item is confirmed authentic, it is officially guaranteed and issued the Warranty of Dieci, which includes high‑quality photographs and a detailed analysis of the item’s defining features. Each Warranty of Dieci is individually numbered and delivered directly to the collector who requested it. Collectors may also choose to make their authentication public on Dieci’s website, allowing the community to see who owns the item and enabling anyone to verify its authenticity online—even as the collectible changes hands over time. If an item is determined not to be original, the Warranty of Dieci cannot be issued. In such cases, no fees are charged unless previously agreed upon. In certain situations, our Team may be unable to certify an item—not because it is necessarily inauthentic, but because it cannot be verified to our 100% certainty standard. When this occurs, we prefer to decline the request rather than issue an inconclusive or unreliable certification. With the Warranty of Dieci, collectors receive clarity, confidence, and protection—ensuring that every authenticated item stands as a verified piece of football history.
