Am I learning?

OK, so instead of just asking what each board was, I figured I'd try to sort them on my own to see if I'm getting the hang of this. These are all pulled out of all-in-one printers. the skinny boards are from the scanner lens and 7 is the back view of the LCD panel.

OK here's what my totally amateur and barely educated eye sees:

2,3,4,5,8,10 low grade
1,11 mid grade
6,7,9 high grade

So how off am I?

Thanks

I would like to know as well, lol

With maybe the exception of #8, i would get motherboard grade on all of them. We tear apart lots of printers. Different buyers grade differently, but that is what i would expect on them

Would you need to remove capacitors and other "bulky" stuff from those to get MB grade?

@OP: I think many buyers also require you to remove batteries, like in #6

Thank you for taking the initiative to learn before just asking questions...hopefully the other new people can learn from this. Good work !

I usually get at least mid-grade from any double green boards, .50 - .75 lb.
If they have large can caps on them, then I use a small hammer and knock them off.
I don't see any low grade up there. The small boards with pieces of gold plating showing you might want
to hang onto them till you have a nice accumulation and sell them on Ebay, might get more for them that way.

i am still learning board grading too.
isnt #1 high grade? and the rest I would put as mid grade.

I'd have thought 6,8,9,11 were high grade buuuuuut......thats why when i turned my load into EWASTED he said i had 60 lb vs the 29 I thought I had. lol, it all looks the same to me really.
