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.

James - Josh Gibson and Satchel Paige are also pictured on this 1932 Harrison Studios Real Photo Postcard of the 1932 Pittsburgh Crawfords. This is the same studio that produced the other Gibson postcards that you referenced. Gibson in pictured in the back center, wearing a jacket and Paige is to the left (Gibson's right). Oscar Charlston is also pictured, standing at the far right.
