I have a bunch of these old patch cards with gold fingers and traces. My question is what should i do with them? Can they be sent in whole or should i just cut the fingers off?

I would send them intact, the gold appears to be consistent on the board. Chris would likely have to look at it and maybe even get it in hand to scan it. Best case I'm guessing somewhere below gold edge board.

I had boards simlar to what you have. They were thumbwheel switch boards. Just basic fiberglass PCB covered with gold traces and gold contact pads. No componets at all. I sent Chris photos. He gave me High Telecom rate. That was about 2 years ago.
