Private auctions and sales as well as ebay. The cards all seem to have come from one or two different sources. You can tell by the feel of the cards and the glossy fronts and backs. The backs have been artifically aged with tea or some other substance. There may be an attempt to lend authenticity by having a small crease. The colors are "not quite right" which is the first tip off. The fakes are getting better and better which is one reason to worry. Also, on many fakes there is a number "20" in the top left area which the cretins have discovered needs to be removed.
