Welcome to Boardsort™ - Learn - Sell - Profit -

thanks in advance

Here's my guess:

Group 1:
1) Peripheral
2) Low Grade Telecom

Group 2:
1) Peripheral
2) Peripheral
3) High Grade Telecom

Group 3:
1) Small Socket Colored Motherboard
2) Clean Gold Finger Card

Group 4:
1) Peripheral

it doesn't show well in the pic but group 4 board has a board soldered vertically behind the comport stacks. would it possibly raise it to low telco. also would it help to remove the coil. I added a better pic

I missed the board on the back of the ports but I don't think that will get it to Low Grade Telecom. Removing the coil shouldn't affect the grade either. I'm still pretty sure on peripheral. And if it is peripheral, removing the coil won't change the grade.

Lostinlodos will respond and verify my grading.

Definitely peripheral. You can trim the fingers off without hurting the grade.

thanks for the info. still trying to learn so i am wondering why group 3-1 is small socket colored moth brd at 1.80 instead of gold finger card or atleast low telecom. it seems to have atleast as many chips and visible gold as 3-2?

It’s more than just the population. The size of the board and kind of board is also considered.

When you think about how money is printed or stamps used to be, computer boards are made the same way. A bunch of boards are made in one pass and then “punched” out into individual cards.
So you think about a 3 finger cards like the one in three in one giant board the whole thing wouldn’t get the same rate as the individual cards.
The motherboard adds steel/tin weight, and raw board weight that is absent in the smaller card.
