Grading The Stars: Corey Seager, Texas Rangers – There’s just something about the stars. They’re mesmerizing. Whether it’s the stars in sports, entertainment or in the sky, they captivate us with their dazzling ways and continue to shine ever so brightly for all of us to see.
In the Grading The Stars series, we’ll feature the stars of the past, present and future and grade them based on their prestige, performance and promise. Plus, we’ll highlight three cool cards of a star to collect under a certain dollar figure.
There are five grading levels of the stars: 10 = Icon (Blue Diamond), 9.5 = Legend (Platinum), 9 = Superstar (Gold), 8.5 = Star (Silver) and 8 = Rising Star (Bronze).
Today, we’ll feature a man who helped guide the Texas Rangers to their first World Series Championship in team history and was named World Series MVP, Corey Seager.
Core Values: A first-round pick (18th overall) of the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2012, Corey Seager has developed into one of MLB’s best, yet under-the-radar superstars. A former National League Rookie of the Year (2016), four-time All-Star, two-time World Series Champ and MVP, Seager’s star continues to rise!
Lone Star Shine: High expectations followed Seager to Texas when he signed a 10-year, $325 million contract with the Rangers prior to the 2022 season. After a disappointing first-year as a team, Seager and the Rangers rebounded in 2023 and became World Champs!
Future Outlook: The 29-year-old Seager should be seen in a much brighter light, especially in The Hobby, after winning his second World Series title and MVP. Collectors are excited, as Seager’s trading cards are extremely hot, and the future is bright with him entering his prime!
Grade: 9 = Superstar (Gold)
