Answer 1

Explain to your mom what cards you meant he could have and you want certain ones back and she needs to tell him that.  

Answer 2

Just be honest with him.  Explain it the same way you did here.  Any reasonable person would be happy to return them to you.  If it is too hard for you to say it face to face, send him a nicely worded E-Mail.

Answer 3

Maybe you should ask your sister to tell ask him. Or maybe if you are at their house, be like, "Ohh..I was looking for my baseball cards that were in my Broken case...did my mother happen to give you those?" Something in those lines...

:D

Good luck.

Answer 4

You explain to him what you explained to us here and ask for them back. He should unselfishly hand them back over to you. If he does not then you go to your mother and ask her to attempt to correct her mistake.
