I'm still learning from reading some of the identification posts. But here are some that I have that I am not sure about.

Attachment:
File comment: Raspberry Pi and external drive board (IDE). I'd guess both high peripheral for both.

File comment: Logitech Harmony smart remote and some Xbox original memory cards. I'd say low peripheral for the remote, second, and third memory card; midgrade for the first memory card.

File comment: Does this still count as gold finger card without the CPU, or is there enough gold content in it to qualify?

Here's my guess:

First Group: Both High Grade Peripheral

Second Group: Two smallest ones High Grade Peripheral; Two bigger ones Low Grade Peripheral

Third Group: Clean Gold Finger Card

they vary, all over the place:
bigger one low telco
smaller one high peripheral

remote low peripheral
cut/snip the plastic off the bigger memory card: all three high peripheral.

clean gold finger card. Put a ceramic cpu back in you loose money but it would be slot processor. put a green fibre CPU in you may make money. Socket 370 was a long era socket and supported ceramics and fibre CPUs. most of the Ceramics were 3rd party gold cap ceramics like the VIA C3 or the WinCX.

Thanks. I'm trying to familiarize with the different grading for boards that aren't obvious.

I know that telecom mostly means boards with a lot of IC chips. However, what made the Raspberry Pi qualify as low telecom? Is it because it has tantalum capacitors and a lot of connectors with gold pins?

Can I send in the connectors I snipped off as connector ends? And relating to this, can I send in junk cable connectors and jacks that don't contain gold plated pins?

As for the CPU adapter card, there was a black fiber CPU in it, so I will keep it separate.

Value commodities vs less valuable and relationship to board weight.
That one is a full 5 layer board with an inner gold layer and full outer gold layers. So there’s a good jump there alone.
A full size SD card slot with low profile housing. Small steel shells on ports. Gold pin quantity. R-pi and other nano computer boards will generally range from low peripheral up to low telco.
Some junk “for kids” ones fall into midgrade because of weight from being ruggedised. Some really high end ones will make it to high telco like the VC AVS if put together to full spec.

No, boardsort does not want non gold pin connectors. I have asked and they said no.
Here is a topic on what to do with them in the general discussion forum:
