Two possible reasons, even if it's the same card:
1) Submitted by a bulk submitter where they may have been using old stock flips (without hologram).
2) The early hologram flip did not always scan properly depending on the scanner setting/angle of the flip. I have seen multiple cases where the scan of a card with the hologram flip did not show the hologram.

These cards were all serial numbered by the manufacturer, kind of like a raffle ticket. So it is highly unlikely they would have duplicated serial numbers.
Save the scan and enlarge it the hologram is there on the 9.
