The weather has been super mild lately. Hoping he's just posted up at a friend's house.

Jayden Robker rushed off the school bus the afternoon of Feb. 2, the 13-year-old’s family said.

The middle schooler flipped through a stack of Pokémon cards and pulled out a few he hoped to sell to make some money to help start his own car wash business, his mother, Heather Robker, said.

Robker was at work when Jayden hurried into their Northland home, but her husband recalled urging Jayden to slow down and eat something before heading out. Jayden insisted the weather was too nice to stay inside. He wanted to seize the chance to ride his RazorX DLX electric skateboard after days of sub-freezing weather, Robker said.

So Jayden was trying to sell Pokemon cards? Did something happen when he met with the buyer? This is not good. Missing for over a month already. I really hope that he is safe.

Thanks for sharing this article - local and still not seeing much at all about this young child!!! Does anyone know how I can help locally? I nanny a local 13 y/o so this hits too close to home.

They need to get access to his snapchat account. That's how all the kids around here communicate and they usually have their snapmap location on.

Where would he have gone to sell the cards? Friend/dealer? That skateboard is worth some $ too! IMO

There's a little shopping center/strip mall with a Quiktrip less than a mile away - a 15 minute walk. There's also an elementary school and parks. Quiktrip would be a super common place to meet up with someone for a craigslist or facebook marketplace deal here.

While knocking on neighbors' doors Sunday, Robker told KSHB 41 she wants her son to know his family is looking for him.

“I want him to know that he is not in trouble, that we dearly miss him — his brothers and sisters constantly as about him, where he’s at — [and] that if he needs help to call out for help or get in contact with someone to let us know that he is okay," she said.

Jayden’s aunt, Susan Deedon, drove from Illinois to Kansas City to help the search efforts. She says Jayden has a big heart and big dreams.

“He’s such a great kid. That crooked smile gets me every time,” Deedon said. “He was just that young kid that had great ambitions. He saved the little bit of money he had so he could buy some car wash supplies so he could start a car wash so he could buy an iPhone. At the age of 13, he had dreams and ambitions to do those things.”

Very concerning some of those cards are a 'thing'. Maybe a parent or collector here can tell us how expensive they run.

 

[sunflowermomma]

I'm no expert but a quick google search shows that some of these go for crazy high prices:



People who are into collector's items often participate In forums or groups online related to their collectible. I really really feel like his internet footprint is the key here - where did he find someone to meet up with and under what guise and who is that person?

 

[sunflowermomma]

there are also local stores that buy pokemon cards - this seems like another very solid possibility. The one I'm linking below to show what I mean is 4 miles from where he was last seen (kind of far) but there is another collectible card shop about half the distance away.

I have kids around Jayden's age who play with Pokémon cards. The vast majority of them are very cheap and not worth anything at all; you can get packs of them at the Dollar Tree. Lots of kids carry them around -- to school, to the park, to friends' houses -- without a second thought. The "collectible" ones that you see online tend to be older or limited edition ones from special events, and it's generally adult collectors who are buying/selling them.
