I do not know what you have done but altered cards are everywhere in the hobby so while there might be sellers to avoid even that is not good enough. Knowing the card's history helps in that case. Knowing where it was first sold can tell you a bit about the card. This would apply to all cards in your collection unless you decide you only want to focus on cards over a certain value or cost.

Unless you want to collect raw beaters I think you have to accept that unless you have the ability to look at a card while it is in the holder and assess it for doctoring, that you might have bad cards and just leave it at that.
