So I found some of my old cards from when I grew up in Switzerland a long time ago. I find it difficult figure out how much they are worth and if so how much. I’m not too knowledgeable about any of this stuff anymore. Any help would be so greatly appreciated! Thank you!

There are definitely some great cards in there. The value is going to be highly dependent on condition. I can’t really tell by the pictures but they seem to be pretty clean cards. Your best bet is to start looking through eBay sold listings on some of the cards. You’ll see a lot different prices depending on condition, when it was sold, and if it’s graded (and what grade it got). It’s a pretty crazy time in the hobby right now so prices seem to be changing on a daily basis.

Wait. I just realized they are in German. I don’t know a damn thing about the German language market….

Hi! You have definitely interesting cards here, although nothing extremely valuable.
At first glance the most valuable are: Rayquaza (ex, in particular ), Kyogre ex, Groudon ex and Charizard.
Skyridge cards (those with the silly asymmetrical yellow border) and the reverse holo with the set name stamped are interesting too, and pretty hot right now.
I see two problems though: many of these are in German/Italian, which decreases their value + their condition doesn’t seem to be the best. Pokemon card values are extremely dependent on those factors (conditions especially).
My suggestion is to browse https://www.cardmarket.com/en and ebay.com last sold items, and with a bit of patience asses the value based ontheir respective languages & conditions.
Also, @Vertemes is joking, do not toss the Deoxys lol

Okay awesome! Thank you very much. Seems like there are so many apps and listings for English and Japanese cards. I guess it obvious why. But when it comes to German cards it just takes so much longer haha
Ah okay 
sorry I did forget to mention. Thanks anyways! 
Yeah the conditions aren’t the best but not horrible. When I was a kid we actually traded each others cards in the playground and didn’t care too much about putting them in sleeves and or top loaders haha.
So I’ve had a quick look at cardmarket. I definitely can see the German cards being sold but without pictures or a date sold on these listing I find it tricky to get an idea. Or maybe I’m just stupid and can’t figure it out. 
Thank you so much for your response! I really appreciate it!
P.s It was genuinely 50/50 believing @Vertemes

Yes, unfortunately cardmarket isn’t the most intuitive website out there, and you’re right, many sellers don’t use pictures in their listing. They use a grading scale (from PO-poor conditions to MT-mint)
What I would do is try to interpolate data from ebay last sold and cardmarket current listings, considering that your cards fall mostly between PL and GD, with many PO, and maybe some EX.
For reference (based on your pictures and on the cards I can see more clearly):
- Impoleon is PO (creased cards = poor)
- Granbull PL (heavy played, has destroyed corners/peeling)
- Dialga LP (played with bad corners but not destroyed)
- Lepumentas/Rasaff GD? (Slightly better, decent appeal)

no that’s cardmarkets fault, they don’t show condition of solds. Ebay completed listings is your friend tho

Okay great! Thanks again! This is really helpful. It will take some time I guess to figure out each price and list. Like I said I’m so new to this so I would kick myself if I undersell (even if it’s not a major loss). Then again I could put them up for auction and take what I can get at this point. I’m starting to understand anything other than Japanese or English versions are just non desirable unless there is some niche collector out there. Thank you again! I signed up to this forum not expecting much but I’m so pleasantly surprised!

One thing to add, instead of only ebay.com sold listings, you can also look at ebay.de and ebay.it sold listings for their respective languages. I doubt ebay.com will show a lot of sold listings for German/Italian cards to begin with tbh.
There used to be websites that combined all the foreign sold listings of eBay together, but I don’t think they’re still active anymore. eBay made it harder and harder to be transparent about sold prices, especially accepted best offers, over the years..
