Collecting Need help figuring out the value of these cards

Hello everyone! I've been collecting Pokemon TCG cards since I was a kid. I have some cards from as far back as 2004. I recently decided that I need to part with (most of) my collection. I've been browsing the web for a few hours now, and I'm still a bit unsure as to how to value my cards, so I wanted some opinions from anyone who collects about this. I may get a few cards graded, and I know the best option is likely to just bite the bullet and get them appraised, but I will be honest: I straight up just can't afford that at the moment. (This is unrelated as to why I'm selling them, by the way). Which is why I need some opinions. Some of my cards I can't really dig up any prices on, online, and others have such a huge range in how much they sell for, that it's just leaving me a bit confused. There is a card shop that buys nearby me, that I'm planning on going to, to see how much they may offer me, and I would like to go in with at least a ballpark of what I might want for my cards, and so that I don't get lowballed or scammed into giving up valuable cards for cheap. (And I do realize that it might be a little lower than if I just sold them online, because they resell the cards and it's not going directly into a personal collection- I just want to make sure that my lack of knowledge isn't used against me, haha.)
Now, with all of that out of the way, I'm ready to talk about some of these cards. So if anyone has any idea on any of these, please let me know!

- Yanma HP 50. Reverse holographic, 2010 print. Illus. Naoyo Kimura. Common. Collector 84/102. Mint/Near mint

OTHER cards I wasn't sure how to categorize:
- Sylveon EX HP 170. Whole card holographic. Full art possibly? 2016 print. Illus. Sui. Rare (White holo star?) Collector(?) RC21/RC32. Mint/Near mint

I have at least a couple hundred more cards that I want to ask about, but it would be insane to list all of them. As you can see, most of the cards I listed are some sort of holographic. These are all of my holographic cards. For my other cards, I will post those as well, later. I also wanted to ask: I have an entire stack of energy cards. Are those... Worth anything at all? Even fifty cents? Some of them are dated between 2004-2007, and the rest of them don't have a date on them, does anyone have any idea about that? Anywho, if anyone reads through all this, firstly, thank you, and secondly if anyone can give me any ideas as to the value of these cards ungraded but in great condition I would really, really appreciate it! And if there are somehow any cards that would be worth $400 or more if I got them graded, mention it please- I may put them aside to get them graded when I'm not so strapped for cash. Again, thank you in advance!

Hi Meowth, there is an app called Collectr that I use for organizing my collection. You can search for cards by name and it will show a price history for the card. I also like to use tcgplayer.com for price reference, because it will also show price history for the card on their site but also condition and type (holo, reverse holo, etc). It lists market price (what sellers are asking for the card) and median price (the average of what it actually is selling for), which is useful info. You can also check eBay/Mercari and filter "sold items". Price charting.com is nice too because it lets you check what a card could be worth at different grading levels.

As for the bulk energy, the only thing I've known to do is to sell it to a card store, mainly online. But you only get .5 cent per card and you have to pay to ship the cards to them.

Hope this helps
