The Springfield News-Leader reported neither man has been formally charged. Police said one man said he had nothing to do with the theft and thought it odd his friend had Pokemon cards.
The cards belonged to a 25-year-old teacher who told the newspaper Tuesday he runs an after-school club for Pokemon competitions.
