It partly relies on a honor system, and this is an important issue for me. That's why I try to document all my dumps as extensively as possible, just to demonstrate to people at large that my dumps are coming from real PCBs which have been in use in real arcades. Another important thing to consider is the source of the PCBs to the dumpers. I spend part of my free time roaming old arcade operators, scouring through their old warehouse looking for undumped games. And when it's not me personally doing the field research, it's a number of well known and trustworthy arcade collectors and fanatics, whose standard for original PCBs is even stricter than mine.
