Good day:
Anything with particularly chips removed would get downgraded. That being said I just glanced quickly at these so I'll give you a couple pointers.

1. For future reference I would suggest numbering the boards just to make it easy to reply from anyone who wishes to chime in. Everyone started at some time but that's the status quo to make it easier on everyone

2. You should take a look at Boardsort's Youtube video on the motherboard game as you have a few listed. That will help you out a lot with a few of those boards.

3. I only had a chance to glance here but there's one board I saw real quick that was manufactured by Cisco and I'd say from a quick glance that would be Low Grade Telecom...BUT be sure that none of the chips or anything considered good is not removed first. If there are chips or things removed you might just be better off finishing the job and removing chips yourself and selling the remaining boards as low grade boards if you happen to be local or have the means to get out there. Hopefully the only depopulation present on these boards is junk so you can get proper categories.

Cheers!

Ditto.
one collage: has some peripheral high grade and high telco (the big boot shaped cisco board). I am familar with the cisco boards shown and at least in what is pictured they have not been depopulated significantly. Have just sent in a couple of the cisco security appliance boards (has a small socket but also massive chip density without the other usual mobo junk) as high telco. Have not been paid out yet so I don't know if I am right.
another collage: solid socket mobo, backs of high telco boards and the remains of candy cane metal mobo (given the bits of grass on some of the boards I suspect hit with a weed whacker?)
yet another collage some repeats of the high telco with some different high peripheral and a large socket mobo. The tyco security board is the only mid-grade that I see.
