From the 1923-24 era are the three Cuban League issues: Tomas Gutierrez, Nacionales & Billiken (as you mentioned). From the late 1940's - early 1950's: Toleteros & Denia are Puerto Rican League issues. If you want to call it a "set", c1931 Harrison Studios issued a few postcards picturing Homestead Grays players including the dual-autographed Josh Gibson postcard. As you also mentioned the two Caramelo (Felices) Cuban League issues were produced during the mid-1940's. These sets would be a good start for you.

Phil,
You forgot the Punch issue from the teens, the Propagandas and Almanaques from the '40s and the Acebos from the '50s. With those additions, period sets containing negro league players are pretty well covered. Kenny Last edited by Kenny Cole; 07-03-2010 at 09:35 AM.

For the uninitiated: the career contemporary cards of the great negro league players are very very hard to find in nice shape and much more scarce than what we normally consider tough vintage cards to find.
As a Hall of Fame collector I find them the most difficult to even find for sale (even compared with the 19th century HOFers). Charleston, Mendez and Cooper have been especially elusive for me. (I'm not even considering Pete Hill) This is most difficult one that I have -- Biz Mackey, a Catcher known most for his fielding, who Roy Campanella thanked when he made the major leagues
