Default BSV? Something else?

I bought that really little plant at Home Depot a couple weeks ago, put it next to my truly tiny plant for size comparison and then, the other day, noticed the dying leaves on the bottom of the plant had small black spots. I cut the leaves off, left town for the Holiday weekend, but kept thinking about those spots.
I did some searches when I got to my destination and am now wondering if I contaminated my plants with that Home Depot Plant! I'm so Mad.

Can someone tell me if they can positively say if this looks like something to worry about?
I'll try to get better images of this on a new leaf. This leaf is pretty ratty looking from wind.
And sorry about the size. If it's too larger, let me know and I'll resize it.

I went back and looked at the photo of that New plant I posted and if you look at the stem, there are black dots on it. THIS is why I think I brought this in on this plant

To me it looks like sunburn. If it shows up on every new leaf for the next 3-4 leaves then I would worry.

The black spots are totally normal. My SDC/Truly tiny look the exact same way.

Ok.... I've been monitoring my plants and even went back to Home Depot to look at their stock. Am I being Paranoid? Does this look like something to worry about?

Sorry for so many pics. These First three are my plants leaves and the last few are from Home Depot







And these are Home Depot plants

Still looks normal to me on older leafs. My SEC/truly tiny Pstems always have black like that. Is any of the specks on any new leafs? If it is something I'm sure an expert will chime in. I'm in TX in 8b/9a line. I'm sure we don't have the banana illnesses like in warmer areas of the tropics.
