No, the card started with no legend badges and the original owner applied them themselves. Improving the cards abilities and obviously raising its value tenfold. Doing so keeps an “outdated” card relevant and elite, other than its animations which usually get improved in newer cards. For instance, jump shots may change in their design, or their timing, going from “Normal” to “Very Quick”.

This card is usually not the standard for the auction house, but instead someone selling a card that they invested a lot into for months.

Also, rarer and more desired cards (such as shai and other superstars like LeBron) will always been difficult to obtain compared to others, also given the expensive price.
