There are instances where they don't go .5 above lowest grade. It's laid out on their site.
3-10s is the only time you'll see that

Can't find the link anymore, but here is a screen shot showing that they will go 2 levels above lowest grade.

Quoting from an ebay blog posting by Beckett from a few years ago:
"It is important to note that the overall grade is not simply an average of the four subgrades. Each of these four subgrades is factored into the overall grade of the card using a complex algorithm, with the lowest subgrade being the most important factor in the formula. It is rare for a card to receive an overall grade more than 0.5 above the lowest subgrade (if that low grade is in centering or corners), or 1.0 (if the low grade is in edges or surface). Two equally low subgrades will typically hold the overall grade from receiving any bump at all."
Looks like edges and surface are weighted less than centering and corners, which would explain your 9.5.
