When I was buying for my company, depending on the density, what most consider high grade telecom, I was able to get a Memory Board price for. I wouldn't consider what he has picutred high grade or memory board. It paid less than memory by a couple bucks, but a LOT more than high grade tele. I've never heard of telecom boards being entirely coated in gold to provide it with RF shielding. I would think there are / were cheaper routes at the time. Take a look at these:
I was ble to sell these to a guy in Eastlake, OH for memory board pricing. Granted there is a gold chip on the top left one, I would still stick it in with the memory board because it paid more than chip board.
