Gutter Stars is an original fiction set. Trading Card Guru is the voice over the pack — late-night radio, short, then out of the way so the card can land.
After midnight the city keeps a second economy: alleys, all-night counters, blown fuses, leftover radio. Nobody here is famous. Everybody here is on shift. The set is that shift — portraits of people (and a few stubborn animals) who keep the lights twitching.
It is warm, a little dirty, and funny on purpose. It is not a battle game, not a kids’ monster encyclopedia, and not a licensed sports or Pokémon product.
Guru is the host. “Guru” is a host name and a brand word. It is not a return, a grade, or a promise.
This site is not a shop. Not a grading company. Not a marketplace. Not a market. The pack deals from a finished set of twelve. The checklist lives on the set.
