Submit as High Peripheral. But. Judy B. I am now wary of evaluating your posts. Has this particular pictured board have gold fingers removed? Why do I ask? You are consistently at this time posting Gold Finger Boards with fingers removed. Not informing forum members you are posting as such. Or are you unaware of this? Do you realize this is happening? Removing gold fingers from a known Gold Finger Clean Board. Will realize a low submission price. That is clearly outlined in the Boardsort price list. Even so. If your posts are eluding to make a point concerning evaluations between a Clean Gold Finger Board versus a Clean Trimmed Gold Finger. " More power to you." That type of thinking is out of my league. But. Respectable. BUT!!!
Consider what it takes to manage the acceptance of a huge quanity of circuit boards and set a standard as such. Maintain a profit consistent evaluations. Micro managing every board. No way. It is common knowledge micro management has resulted in overall losses. Yet. It did sound good. Macro management wins in the end. I guess we all must consider O.S.C.A.R when he comes back online.
Here to learn like everybody else

Pretty sure that is a large CPU socket. Would help to see the other side of the board. With the rest of the chips on there and a connector that is likely gold I would classify as large socket motherboard, at least. I have seen similar, though not as small, boards cleared as a large socket by experienced contributors.

After reviewing your other posts, I now understand catwhiskers reply.
It is a bad idea to trim gold finger cards in general. I have never viewed the trimmed class as a penalty class, just representing that most GF cards don't have high stand alone value. However, I almost never trim cards of their fingers, and never in the case of a card with the long row of little fingers that is described in the gold fingered card video.
In the video on high telco Chris shows a card at time stamp 2:13 that has obviously had some gold fingers trimmed. However, the fingers were a small part of a really big board. At the same time as Sharkscrapper has said, having gold fingers on a lower quality motherboard does not raise it up to gold fingered card, so trim away.
Having the gold fingers does not bring a card like this down to gold fingered card if it stands on its own as a higher class. I think with the gold fingers was a large socket mobo or high telco. Without, maybe there is a penalty??
Maybe send your picture(s) of trimmed cards to Chris and ask him to chime in and settle this.
