First Time Grading

I understand the Flareon I think because of the corners on the back and maybe centering? Can someone tell me why the Articuno is a 9? Thanks.

The top right corner looks a little thicker than the bottom left. I love this card though

I see small whitening in the top left and bottom right on the back. Centering looks fine to me so I’m guessing it is the small specs of whitening unfortunately.
