So I was an avid collector earlier on in life and now I’ve got, what I think, a really cool collection of the early Pokemon cards from both here and japan. I’m not sure exactly what I’ve got since I’m now new to Pokemon (again) so I figure you guys could help me out! I’ve got pictures of the cards in their protector so let me know if I have cards that are cool or cards that should be treated more carefully (yelling and scolding is permitted). Thanks guys/gals, look forward to learning from y’all.
Edit: the pictures are too big, please stand by

Also, the conditions of your cards makes a huge difference in how much they are worth. The Charizard from the Base Set is the mot valuable card in your collection right now at around $15-$25.
Welcome to UPCCC 
In your first three attachments you have a mix from the two Japanese gym sets, the gym Japanese theme decks (that’s where the holo gym leader cards came from), Japanese Jungle, and Vending series cards (these have a glossy finish, pokeball logo, and are really cool to collect!).
Southern Islands was mass produced and easy to acquire, but it’s still a nice set. The one with Mew is the most valuable iirc. Then after that you have a good mix of English set cards from the early sets as Reina pointed out.
Welcome! Are you going to be building your collection from here on out?
The collection will grow much more now and probably with a goal and a systematic approach rather than just buying and randomly trading like I did in the early 2000’s
