I would submit High Telecom. But. Only after I removed those plastic connectors. Why? Simply because I exclusively mail my e-scrap. I need a tight package. Those connectors would reduce space to pack. Even though you remove those connectors. I say still High Telecom. The board has IC density. And is basically junk free. Little bit of gold around the board. Also where the connectors mount. Then submit the connectors as Connector Ends. No need to remove the plastic.
I see no one has responded to your post for awhile. I was starting to lose sleep over it. But. I will be ok. You don't need to send the board to me.
Hopefully. The membership will get the humour.

I couldn't decide how to feel about it. The plastic and metal things in the middle are not something I recognize. They do appear to have some gold plating but I can't tell for sure that's the case or if it's a weird reflection.

Whether those stay or not, I'm hesitant of calling it Telco, definitely clears high peripheral. Just not sure on getting a bump.

This is a board from an EEG machine - all gold plating on the pins and id imagine its a heavier than normal plate considering what it’s from.

I may just set these aside, they’re almost certainly worth more than $11/lb

In this business. XRF testing tells the true value of the gold.
I would email Chris about the board. Especially if you have a decent quanity.
We all have different opinions on this form. Shaped by our personal experience and years of e-scrapping. Chris has the final say at Boardsort on the price. Me. I consider myself a novice to e-scrapping.
I did look up that board. Its for sleep studies. Yes? No? Yes. It is from medical industry.

I suppose it could be used in sleep studies? I think it just measures electrical impulses in the brain and elsewhere

I don’t have a huge quantity, I have 6 of these so probably worth more to me than to just sell them all for $30 or whatever

I’ll keep these separate for now and throw them in my goodie box. Maybe I’ll refine it all one day or maybe I’ll just have a giant box filled with GOLD Lol

Heavy you say?

That could make a big difference. If that heft is from gold then you're definitely into Telco territory and likely a shot at the gold edge category.

I don't know if I've gotten a true gold edge board yet so that's a hard one for me to guage

I have my goody box.
That is what the company that made that board is known for. Sleep studies.
Refining is another world. Have you looked into pricing to even start. I did. And. You got to be in a location you can do it.
I know. I won't do it.

Well yea cost to refine the right way is huge. All the equipment and PPE etc… then you’re working with some really nasty acids and fumes.

Probably not for me
