Their value depends on condition, legitimacy of the cards (a lot of people have at least some counterfeits in the collection from when they were a kid and didn't know how to tell the difference), and which ones, tbh.

My recommendation is taking photos of a handful and posting them here: https://www.pokecommunity.com/showthread.php?t=391812


Though part of maximizing value is putting in the effort to figure out what they're selling for and then putting in the effort to sell them. If you aren't willing to put in the effort to sell them individually, it may be more prudent to just sell them for what you're being offered, because figuring out what you have, what they're worth, and then selling them *is* extremely time consuming.
