I've struggled with that Williams. It looks to me like it is/was a pinhole, that maybe has been closed up? You can't see light through it, but the indentation and the marking on the back make me think that's what it was. Would the pinhole automatically make it a 1?

On the Banks, I've measured it and came up with .75 to 1 mm on the top and only 3 mm on the bottom border. At .75/3 that would make it 80/20, so it should qualify, no? Am I right that you measure from the top of the player's name at the top? I don't know exactly how PSA measures or if they have an automatic rule of less than 1 mm is a miscut?
