Sometimes the chip stays attached to the board, sometimes the top plastic layer is ripped off exposing the precious metal content, and often, the heatsink with the chip attached is ripped from the board, tearing the copper layer.

it is if you are pulling the chips with the heat sinks... both you an OP posted photos of boards with the ICs pulled off, we can all see this

Both sets of pictures are actually pretty blurry, but meowpher's do have ICs still. The original pics don't seem to have any, but again the pictures are not great. Unless a better image is supplied I would stand by midgrade for the OP, meowpher's should be better than that though.
Sorry I missed the continuation of this.
I’ll say upfront here I know nothing of these type of cards. Just my first glance look. Appears Meowpher has some experience so I’ll differ to you before keeping or changing my grade.
Especially because I’m seeing the opposite of marked in close inspection of the poor images.
Looks like the original may have chips and the repost doesn’t.
So are these boards surface printed ICs with a shell, a sink on top? Such as you see with streaming boxes and retro game emulators?
If so (my eg go as high peripheral despite looking like midgrade junk) then this may actually qualify as high telco.
Even without the caps as long as the actual IC and printing is still there.
