    Those should go as telecom or fingerboards. Like Bear send a picture to a buyer and see what they class them as. As far as pricing based on year I never have seen a buyer do that. A finger card from 1990 and a card from 2009 are going to get priced the same. The weigh of each may be different though which would cause one to be worth more than another. The plating has gotten much thinner over time but it is still 24k plating.

    That's something I haven't seen before, or even considered. Just out of curiosity, have you seen actual test results for that posted?

    Dont want to hijack this thread, the short answer is yes I have seen these results. Think of it this way if you sent ewaste to be refined the refinery is going to pay you on gold price. Not 10k, 18k 22k that would be gold that has other metals mixed in. They pay based on the price of gold 24k pure. So any gold used in ewaste is going to be 24k.
