Thought this would be interesting to get others' opinions.......

Below are a list of players in Beckett trading card magazine who aren't usually listed price~wise and are relegated to a specific group referred to as Semistars. Although I feel they are accurate for the most part, some will certainly raise debate among many. These are some listed in that semistar group. Any stand out that you consider Star~Status instead?

Here is my take:

Champ Bailey - absoulute stud
Tiki Barber - solid
Charles Woodson - solid
Aaron Brooks - more flash than production
Hines Ward - on the cusp of being a star
Roy Williams (S Dallas) - stud
Fred Taylor - a star when healthy
Derrick Brooks - stud
Michael Strahan - stud
Duce Staley - solid
Rod Smith - solid
Jimmy Smith - was solid, at the end now
Shannon Sharpe - future HOF
Warren Sapp - slowing down, at the crossroads
Erick Moulds - solid
Simeon Rice - solid
Ty Law - one of the best db's
Jevon Kearse - too many injuries
Chad Johnson - new QB will dictate future
Joe Horn - underrated, better days are behind
Travis Henry - Could be special
Tony Gonzalez - best te
Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila - very underrated
Warrick Dunn - hurts he is not an every-down rb
Corey Dillon - at the crossroads
Stephen Davis - might wear down this year
Laveranues Coles - If only he were a Giant
Plaxico Burress - too moody
Marc Bulger - needs to show last year was real
Issac Bruce - great player at the end of career

I know what you are getting at. Problem with collecting FB is QB's and RB's are king. You can get cheap HOF WR's and defensive players for a song. A career-ending injury can happen on any play. Look on eBay and outside of the newest rookies and superstars, you can almost name your price.

The two that stood out the most was Bailey and Gonzo.

Tony Gonazlez obviously Fair....
Opinions on a few others......

Roy Williams ~ ALREADY a star
L Coles ~ Reached Star Status last year
Derrick Brooks ~ Cmon
Ty Law ~ We all know about him
Warren Sapp ~ Not liked by many but an obvious star even though slowing a bit as you mentioned
