Gibson has a grand total of 2 playing days "cards" they're both postcards and extremely scarce. 1931 Harrison Studios is the name of the issues one being Gibson by himself, the other being a team photo. I'll link a helpful article from SCD, that was published not too long ago below this message.

Josh Gibson and Buck Leonard are probably the only two of the inner circle Negro League players, that do not have available playing day trading cards, most likely due to the time that they played. You can find cards of Pop Lloyd, and Oscar Charleston. You'll have to pay a decent amount, but both of them have available issues. Satchel Paige to my knowledge has no playing days cards from the Negro Leagues, but does have his issues from when he played in the MLB.
