If you have posted all you have. Just bundle everything pictured. Submit as Gold Finger Card. Spare the frustration. Why would I suggest that? Simple. Too much trouble to nick pick an indepth evaluation. Unless. You got a sufficient quanity to think otherwise. Again. How can I say that? I am thankful I could cash in stuff I had to the curb already. Got some cash already deemed as trash. I am retired.
Here to learn like everybody else.
My advice on evaluations are my own opinion.

2,4,a,c are all borderline for me. Any of them might be good enough for high telco but I'm not certain enough to commit to that.

Definitely a spot to learn; Catwhisker is fairly new to the scrap stuff too and has other expertise that I hope he keeps sharing. But I echo his assessment that I would probably put all these in clean GFC if I was sorting them myself.

Thanks mhefner76 for the corrective note. You are right. The forum is to learn. I stand corrected. I/we /all miss O.S.C.A.R. Trimming the sails to stay on course. Learning is the destination. Trying to keep objective in what seems to be a subjective environment.

I don't think most of the people who post pictures are doing so to learn for the sake of learning. They want to know how to sort what they have before making a shipment to Boardsort.

If there's got to be a section like this where members like OP take a lot of time posting photos of components, 1) Someone from Boardsort should answer, and 2) There ought to be no guessing, since any answers given might be treated as the gospel truth by who knows how many other people who might not post here at all.

Ignoring questions is a disservice to everyone involved, and if the reason for that is lack of time/staff, then this system is the wrong one to be using (and I can tell you already that it is). My last post had one answer from a member with 10 posts, and I already figured out one of those answers is wrong....we need something better here, and I only say that because I'm a fan of Boardsort but a frustrated one, too.

All will class for Clean gold finger card 100%. A and C might be able to jump to High Tel, but it's not much of a difference so I would be content at Clean GFC.
