I’m fairly certain that the lighter board is low, but I'm not sure about the darker one.

I'm guessing peripheral on both.

The lighter board is peripheral.

The darker low telco. Helped by the edge connector (fingers).

The darker board has both a greater density of pins and ICs. As well as more valuable ICs.

The debate from my standpoint is how to deal with the lighter board. On its own it’s pure peripheral. That wide edge connector has me asking questions (to the voices in my head(;)
Personally I just don’t think it makes it. And personally I would trim the fingers off for that reason.
However, I am not completely sure on this one. So as per rules I grade on the lower side of value. This has a chance of upgrade to low telco. Depending on the person who takes it in.
So leaving the fingers on may get a nice boost for you. But if I’m right on my first thought, and I am more often than not, leaving the fingers on is a noticeable loss.

Off to Chris for a final classing this post goes.

It looks like Chris missed this one, too.

Grr.
I see that. Grr
I’ll say low telco based on equivalent boards I’ve sent.
This is really borderline but I’ll stand by that grade. Bar none.
You’ll get low telco for the dark board or I’ll match the difference myself.

The issue here is weight. We’re looking at an 8X3:4X2 board. These always flux between peripheral and LT. I’m confident enough to stay with my backing.
Any other users here will vouch for it; if I promise a grade I’ll PayPal (or Bitcoin if you choose) you the difference.
I’ve been doing this long enough in general to reach a point where I’m stand by my calls and when I say as much

Wow, Lost! This may be more entertaining than watching people try to stump Ben Stein.

But...but...

No, I like to be truly stumped. (No not the riser card stumping).
I means I don’t know something and have to go track it down.
I like to learn.

This one was rather easy, figuring it’s a basic switch with 3 banks and one double duty asic. Just decide if the reduced chip count still offsets the board weight. I call yes based on some Fire Pro boards I sent last year.

Thanks Lost! I appreciate the analysis on such a borderline board. I’ll put it in my low tele box and I’ll keep it in mind when I send it in.
