Guys I appreciate the help, as I am totally stupid to 90 % of this. I buy or haul off personal or business assets. I know what to do with the 500 Sunglasses I just got. On computer items I am learning. I just received 3 pick up trucks full of computer related items from and independent computer geek ( this guy built gaming computers) he retired. He was doing it since the 80's and I have no idea what this stuff is and being very careful not to get rid of anything until I know what it is.

The larger board is new in box that says graphics card, does it go ?
Plus I have a small small card unknown.

Anything new in box and sealed from that era is going to fetch some money.
The top one is a game card (telco as scrap)
The bottom looks like a parallel port expansion but not sure. (As scrap it's gold finger card).
Again anything new from that era is definitely worth reselling.

Thank you, in searching some more I found this board on I believe a German site, http://www.computer-retro.de/Grafikkarten.html apparently it is from 1987. Looking at the board it appears used as there is a shade on the fingers and apparently it did not go with the box it was in. This site has great pictures of old boards.

Thanks again

Here is the German Sites Description under a picture of the exact board :

dtk Graphic Smith/MGP6212 UM6845R, UM82C11, UM2301, S8724 SCX621RUL-V4, Sony CXK5816PN-10L, LPT & Sub-D9 CGA-Grafik Taiwan XT/ISA 1987

The graphics card looks to be a Hercules style game card with dual, shifted, output. Either c(e)ga or vga, and parallel RGB. Or could be a DG style with chance and a 25 pin serial for a game card. But the description you posted with lpt assignment makes me think it's the former.
If it's not sealed there's no way to know if it was used or not. Again anything that is sealed from that era is worth some decent money.
