These came from a large box of old telecom boards used in the old landline phone systems. Not for sure of #1, if I remove the 2 coils it would go as high gold finger card. #2 maybe low grade telecom, and #3 Im just not for sure. #2 and #3 have thick gold tracing on boards if that matters. Thanks!

#1: Low grade -- Cant see the other side but I couldn't in good conscious believe there is any real value to be had on this one.

#2: Low Grade telecom? -- This one is tough for me to take a ganter at. 3 different gold plated connector locations and an area with gold fingers. There are also 3 IC Chips... Its hard to say how big the board is but somebody more experienced than I am with Telecom grade boards could tell you anywhere from HGP, LGT, or HGT....

#3: LGP: There are 4 small gold connector areas I can see but I don't see anything else that looks appealing. I think this is a bit better than mid-grade but I couldn't say it is anything higher than low grade peripheral. This is in my opinion a board almost in-between the two

1. Low/Mid

2. Low per

3. Low/Mid

The only big thing these boards have going for it is the old Tanta packs they have all over. Besides that, there's not much else of ICs or pins of that nature.

Chris answered this question for me in an email. He stated these boards are medium grade and can't be upgraded. He also said I could remove the ic and gold fingers for more profit. Thanks for the comments.
