    I am still learning the grades, so I couldn't tell you. Those are just images I pulled off Google last night.

    However, those are the chips that I am talking about. I will take a look next time I get a brown board to see what you mean with it. I generally don't do anything with them. I try and maximize my storage with the more profitable stuff, so it is worth it to me.



    Thanks for the input.

    I guess I was mistaken George, I thought those were your boards you were asking about. A lot of times if you have quite a few flatpacks and IC's on a double sided green board they will consider it a mid-grade at around .70 and up a lb.
