Ok. I will attempt a few.
#1 Skip. Too many boards in same frame for me.
#2 Thats a IROBOT ROOMBA PCB. It has a sealant. High Peripheral.
#3 I'ld toss it in Connector Ends.
#4 Backplane.
#5 Low Peripheral. Might be questionsble. They all look the same.
#6 Skip. Can't remember the category. I have seen it on the forum.
#7 and #10 are the same picture.
#8 skip. Too many boards same frame. They're CD/DVD I think.
#9 High Peripheral
#10 Trim back wires. High Peripheral.
#11 As is. Low Peripheral
#12 I believe that is a Floppy Drive. High Peripheral.
Hope you got some guidance from my input. I am still new at Escrap.
Here to learn like everybody else.

5 are laptop trackpads. High peripheral as long as you removed any plastic/glass from the touch side

6 low peripheral

8 are floppy drive boards. High peripheral

9 is a cd/DVD board

Be back later to look at the rest better

1, all seem like some type of integrated motherboards.

2. With whisker's assessment of being a roomba board (which makes sense with some of the text on the board) and the board overall looking rather low quality, high peripheral may be a stretch but hopefully with all those ICs, it'll be okay.

3/4, concur with whiskers ;P

7 (and 10), does look like it came from some kind of drive, but I nothing specific comes to mind. High peripheral would probably be okay.

8, as long as pins are gold, high peripheral. If no gold, low peripheral. Some older higher quality boards can get into CD/DVD grade.

11, think you posted this one elsewhere. It's definitely close to too high peripheral, if you want to be sure it can clear the grade, pull the circular copper winding (and the steel it's wound on)

12/13, both appear to be from drives, at a minimum, high peripheral. Not sure either could do better.

And as suggested, do try to clip wires as close to the board as you can.

Merkman, most of us will not respond to a post with so many different picture groups. It is just too difficult and time consuming to be scrolling up and down to see or take a second look at what is in a frame. Generally, we try to keep the boards to identify to 5 or six, or a small number of groups. Personally, I prefer to group a couple or three similar looking boards with only slight differences, to see if all are id'd as the same class, or if one has something that makes it better or worse than the others. Also, in a post with so many boards, you get more information than you can keep up with also. Instead of learning to id one or two classes, you are faced with trying to learn and remember 8 or ten or more boards...that's like throwing all the names in the pot, rather than labeling each board properly in its turn. I am old and hard of seeing: the younger folk may be able to manipulate a large post like this.

7 and 10 I believe came from tape drives if I recall…
