Where do I find vintage baseball cards to sell?

I want to sell vintage baseball cards on E-bay (I am pretty knowledgeable in that field). I see hundreds if not thousands of sellers selling hundreds of vintage baseball cards (50′s-60′s) at a time. Where do I buy bulk vintage cards to sell like that? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hi. I have been collecting cards for over 15 years since I was a kid. Yes I know how to spot trimmed cards, as well as reprints. I don’t like to call them re-prints however, because 99% of the time they are counterfeits, not legitimate reproductions.

Hello there,

Check the yard sales and estate sales in your area. You may find an old collection there. You just have to do a lot of leg work and search for vintage collections at auction houses, sales and where ever. No steady, easy supply. Just a lot of work finding them.

If you are looking for a company that will sell you bulk quantities of valuable vintage cards cheap enough so you can resale them at a profit on eBay, you won’t find one.

Later,
Hello again,

You said you are knowledgable in that field, however you are not familar with how to find the cards? How much experience have you had in dealing with vintage cards? Can you detect reprints and fakes? Can you detect when a card has been shaved to make it appear to be a higher grade than it is? If you cannot do those very basic things, you are going to get taken and loss money until you learn.
