How is this not a 9.5 0

How is this not a 9.5 if you look at the golisapod its a 9.5 has 8.5 for centering surface is 9 and 9.5 for the other 2 sub grades. Clearly the espeon has better subgrades then the golisapod  CGC just told me that the card grade can only be 1 point above the lowest grade which one point away would be 9.5

Hey I just wanted to let you know that while I was watching Omaash open his CGC returns he got the following grades. Check them out. 

I know its not much help and it doesn’t explain why the golisopod can have a 9.5 and not your espeon but hopefully someone else from the community or from CGC can better explain this. 

 

Cheers!

Your golisapod was graded wrong, it should be an overall 9. Once your overall card grade is 8.5 or higher, your lowest possible subgrade can be .5 lower than your overall grade. So that 8.5 centering on your Espeon caps the overall grade at a 9 (.5 higher than the 8.5). 
 

I have a comment explaining this more in detail check my page for it.
