I've been following the trend on Satchel Paige items and personally succumbed to a bit of FOMO myself; I jumped on a 1949-50 Exhibit of Satchel Paige at around triple the price of what I could have paid last year. I was still thrilled with my pickup considering what's going on with his cards. My personal checklist includes all of the "cards" that show Paige as a member of the Cleveland Indians. If I narrow it down to career-contemporary Cleveland items, I would add the following to your checklist:
-c1948-49 RPPC (pitching follow through)
-1948 Cleveland Indians Picture Pack Satchel Paige (portrait)
-1949 Cleveland Indians Picture Pack Satchel Paige (pitching)
-1949 Big League Novelty Co. Cleveland Indians Picture Pack "Satchell" Paige (portrait, name spelled with two "Ls")
-1949 Cleveland Indians Sun Picture Camera Photos Set #2 Satchel Paige
-1949 Vis-Ed Cleveland Indians Magic Dials Satchel Paige
If I were adding in 1948-49 Cleveland Indians Team Photos with Satchel Paige depicted, I would also include the following
-1948 Exhibit Cleveland Indians Team
-1948 Baseball Magazine Supplements M114 Cleveland Indians Team ("N.Y.")
-1948 Baseball Magazine Supplements M114 Cleveland Indians Team ("New York")
-1948 Oct 6 Cleveland Press Supplement Cleveland Indians Team
-1948 Burke Motors Premium Cleveland Indians Team
There are probably several other items out there. Always looking for more, but lately so is every one else, it seems!

--1949 Leaf
--1949 Bowman
--1949-50 Exhibit
--1949 Cleveland Team Issue PC

Let's see some.
