It depends on your objective. If your objective is to avoid altered cards as best you can, which is my objective, then yes, in a hobby infested with altered cards, card doctors and their enablers, it can be very important to evaluate the conventional wisdom and to be receptive to what people you trust or who have no incentive to dissemble say.. If you just want the card I mean the slab, then sure go with whoever ships it quickly and securely.

And cars are a poor analogy, cars are commodities. Very different from cards, where some are natural and some are altered and it's not always easy to tell the difference or which sellers are more likely than others to be selling altered.
