I think you’re exactly right. There are 2 reasons cards are still in their holders. Either they will grade less in a legitimate holder or they will not pass authentication. There is no reason to keep a card of significant value in their holder because most people won’t look at it. You have to judge the card as though it was raw - because it may as well be.
