Newbee Question about Pokemon Cards

Hi Collectors,
Im a Comic Book collector and recently my nephew handed me over some pokemon cards to sell for him. I know nothing about this arena (yet) but Ive noticed cards gets graded (PSA) like comics (CGC) as well.
So before I put any more effort into this I wanted to know which (if any) of these cards are worth getting graded or have any value for that matter. Any help is appreciated, Ive placed numbers next to each one (there are only 17) to make replying easier.
Thanks in advance to whomever decides to reply.

    You have a few good ones. I don't know about #1, but 2, 5, and 11 are all 1st Editions, which carry a premium. Charizard is always popular, so #3 is a good one. I'm assuming most of these are holofoils?

    I just recently started looking into these due to purchasing a large collection of sportscards that had some of these in it. It took a lot of time to even come close to figuring out these, but looking at the ones you have, there really isnt a lot there, at least ungraded. Graded, I am sure there are some toughies to get in PSA 10

    IT IS ALWAYS CHEAPER TO NOT SELL ON EBAY

    Welcome comics!

    I have no idea but find them to be really cool.

    PSA's SMR has articles from time to time on these kinds of cards - I find it interesting.

    What's your first name?

    2 and 3 are holofoil, 4,5,11 are not. Do you think its worth investing the $25 for grading any of these?

    If #2 looks good, that would be the only one. It's a 1st Edition holofoil, which are quite desirable.
