    I was told by a popular buyer on here to only leave copper on lower grade boards. If left on higher grade boards it diminishes the value.

    That's a lot different from the way I have been doing it to. To me, low grade boards, CRT monitor boards for example get robbed for every tidbit of AL and CU. They become essentially shred after all so gotta get what you can get. On mid grade and high grade I've only been removing stuff that are "removeable" and are excessive.
