[color=#400040][/color]Hi I've been scrapping for around 15 years but just recently within the past year I started saving any and all e-scrap I can find. I even bought some things from my local scrap yards out of the sheet iron pile in hopes of them being worth more then the 20 cents a pound I paid. So anyway if anyone at all can tell me how to grade theese or if I should take anything off of them or anything at all I have never sold a single piece of e-scrap and I know absolutely nothing besides what videos I've watched and what I've read from random Google searches and honestly I've gotten such a mix of answers I am not sure of what at all to do with theese theese are the first boards I bought out of the sheet pile that got me started trying to figure out escrapping there are 3 different boards in the pics if I can attach that many 2 of them are very similar I only notice a couple slight differences and the third one is obviously different from the other 2. I have around 20- 30 of theese boards and like I mentioned previously I found them in the sheet iron pile exactly how they are today is how I found them....thankyou in advance

You're going to want to remove the faceplates and separate the boards (cut the ribbon cables off) otherwise it's going to drop the value.

The largest board on the set of three I believe can make low telco grade once you get the above off.

The middle sized board; can you get a better photo of the two silver boxes with NEC on them? Make sure all labeling is visible even if you take multiple pics to get it (Do Not Remove them)

The smallest board looks high telco.

The second board looks like it has a fair bit of gold on the board compared to the third board which does not. Both have a lot of heatsinks, those look like they may be copper/brass; are they?

I'm thinking the second and third set will be high peripheral with the heatsinks off; I'm not sure if leaving the heatsinks would drop them into low peripheral or not so if they're coming off really easy then have at it.

The texture didn't seem quite right for aluminum so thought I'd ask. Had they had been copper it might have been worth removing to sell locally depending on what your local scrap yards pay.

But yeah pics of the two silver boxes on that middle board, just want to make sure they're not Mercury containing (shouldn't be but you never know).
