The first use that I remember was in Sports Collectors Digest ads and dealer sales list from the 1970's and early 1980's.

It has been many years but I recall that a “star” was voted to the All-Star game for a number of years, at least 3. But a semi-star was only voted once or twice.

Closely related, but not necessarily tied just to cards is the term "minor stars." I've always just thought of this as recognizable players, but not the cream of the crop. Maybe Willie Davis, and not Willie Mays...
