Short answer: $1-$5
Long answer: Beckett lists Star Power cards as “1996 Topps Power Boosters”. Frank Thomas is classified by Beckett as an “unlisted star”. Star Power semistars have a book value of $1.25-$3.00. For some reason they don’t list values for unlisted stars, but if they did the high value would be no more than $5.
