A few days ago, I went through my Peripheral box. Everything in that box had been graded as Peripheral before the class split, but since Low Grade Peripheral was added, I thought I should see if there was anything that would be Low Grade Peripheral. So I pulled out all the questionable ones and started emailing Chris.

I decided that it would be helpful for other forum users if I posted the results.

Here are the results:

On the first four groups, I was pretty sure that they would all be High Grade Peripheral. Chris said they were.

With the fifth group, I wasn't sure if they would be Low of High Grade Peripheral.
Chis said: #5 is Low Grade Peripheral and the rest are High Grade Peripheral.

On the sixth group, I was guessing that 8 and 9 were going to be Low Grade Peripheral and the rest were going to be Connector Ends. Chris said: 1 through 5 are Connector Ends and the rest are High Grade Peripheral.

On the seventh group, I was pretty sure that 8 was going to be graded as a Connector End, but that was about it. Chris said: 8 is a connector End and the rest are High Grade Peripheral.

On the eighth group, I was pretty sure that they would all be Low Grade Peripheral. But Chris said: 1, 2, 7, and 8 are Low Grade Peripheral and the rest are High Grade Peripheral.

On the ninth group, I was very sure that the board would be Midgrade. I was surprised when Chris said that it was High Grade Peripheral.

On the tenth and eleventh groups, I was pretty sure that they would all be low Grade Peripheral since it had been kind of a stretch to say they were Peripheral in the first place. Chris said they were all Low Grade Peripheral.

I was a little concerned when the Peripheral class was split because I thought I was going to lose money. But after having Chris grade them, less than two pounds of boards were identified as Low Grade Peripheral out of more than 20 pounds. So at most I shouldn't lose more than $5. But since Boardsort raised their prices yesterday (High Grade Peripheral is at $2.75 a pound now!), that raised the value of my High Grade Peripheral Boards by $15.

I hope you will find this post helpful. I have a few more groups that I'm still checking with Chris, so when I get responses, I will post the results here.

Here's a word of advice from Chris about grading between High and Low Grade Peripheral:
Boardsort wrote:
As long as there is at least one little IC per approximately every couple square inches of green board (green both sides) and no super heavy junk, then it can usually find its way to High Grade Peripheral.

Since I had had groups ten and eleven graded a few months ago, I decided to add a few new boards and take different pictures then email them to Chris again to see if he graded them differently. He did.

I split the last two groups into three groups so we'll call this one group 13.

The results:


Chris said: All High Grade Peripheral.
