I have about 10 rare holo-foil cards to sell that are expensive in the collectors book but I wonder what they are worth now and where I should sell them to make the most profit?

My experience with non-sports cards (and many sports cards as well) is that you can throw the book away...those prices are retail and unrealistic. If you think you will get those kinds of numbers, especially with the Pokemon craze being yesterday's fad, then you will be disappointed. They are worth what a collector is willing to pay for them.
Go to a site like ebay where that stuff is still being traded and search for the cards you have...include a search of completed auctions; that will tell you what they actually sold for. If those numbers look good to you, try listing them on ebay...but frankly I'd wait until fall when there's more activity. Summertime is when people pay attention to outdoor hobbies and go on vacation; they aren't usually sitting in front of a computer...thus ebay generates lower prices this time of year as a rule.
If you don't like the prices you see, then you can call your local dealers in sports cards, etc. Most of them still deal in the Pokemon stuff too... although quite frankly, I think the Pokemon craze really ended some time ago, so you might have a problem liquidating them. For your sake I hope I'm wrong.
Good Luck.

Watch eBay for a week or two and see what they sell for on there. It's really the best medium to determine what people are *actually* paying (those books are just guides, they're an average of what sellers are pricing the cards at, and usually at least a couple weeks behind the current trends - if not more). Once you have an idea of what you want to sell them for (or what you think you can get), try placing them up for sale on eBay. Again, it's really the best way to go for this stuff. Place the starting bid a little lower than what you expect you should be able to get, at your lowest acceptable price, and sit back and watch the bidding commence!
