Found an M-card. Removed metal.
Had to remove a battery.

Unsure how significant the gold is. High peripheral at minimum.

I'm just unsure if the tracings are significant or not to boost the grade

The IC population is the main thing holding me back from saying high telco immediately.

Instead of number of ic, consider the percentage of surface area the 3 of them inhabit along with all the visible gold. I always send similar stuff as high telco and haven’t had any issues

That is what I meant ¯\_ (ツ)_/¯

I'm trying to avoid the assumption that every card like these will always be high Telco, cause I don't want our whiskered friend to dump every laptop pcie card into a bucket and expect Telco; normally the lowest grade is high peripheral but I'm sure there's worse ones too. I don't disagree that this card has a good chance getting top price. If there were more ICs it would assuage my uncertainty with the gold. If I knew the visible gold was a good plating and not flashed it would assuage my uncertainty with the ICs.
