Would these all go as pin or backplane?

I posted one like that recently and it was classified as backplane. There must be a big difference in gold plated pins and wire wrap pins that make much a difference in price.

wire wrap pins are usually square and up to two or more inches long, with a heavy gold plating as gold was "cheap" at 35$ ounces until Nixon took us off gold standard and gold shot to $60 an ounce . The first circuit boards I sold, 500 pounds from mostly those weird plastic see thru apples for schools, buyer only paid me 30 cents a pound, as gold was still around $300 an ounce. Silver hovered around $2, except for when the Hunt brothers tried to corner the market and it briefly hit $40
