Looking for a little help properly identifying these boards. OSCAR graded 1,2,5,6, and 7 as high grade telecom boards. 3 was graded as a gold cap & gold edge & CNC board. It graded #4 as non scrap even though it is a silver plated board with gold pins. Is OSCAR correct on these or would 1 and 2 also scrap as gold cap/gold edge boards?

I'm still not sure when gold edge is actually gold edge, so maybe yes on 1-3. After typing this all I'm not sure how helpful this was but fingers crossed ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

5-7 don't really jump out to me as high telco. Visually I'd lean high peripheral on them but these are also boards I'm not familiar with.

4, looks like there's a fair bit of metal (heatsinks?) on the board; between that and the color, Oscar may be having a hard time knowing what's there. I'd probably be debating between low and high peripheral or trying to figure out if I can remove the heatsinks (assuming that's what those are). The gold components that are soldered were mentioned in a different post somewhat recently and I believe they're fairly low value for appearing to be a good gold plating, but assuming that's silver and a decent amount the grade may go higher.

3, seems to have better population than 1-2, probably go ahead and pull that wire. I'd probably be thinking at least low telco. Again I'm not sure on the gold edge.
