There are dozens of sets that picture players from the American Negro Leagues from their playing days. Almost all are Cuban issues (some Puerto Rican) showing these players playing for Cuban teams in the off season. the sets range in years from 1909-1950s.

The only American issues I can think of that have Negro League players would be a couple of the PCL Remar Bread issues of the late 1940s that have some older Negro League players, that never went on to the Majors.

Negro League players are some of the most valuable of all baseball cards. A couple will reach 6 figs ($100K +) ie the 1909 Cabanas Pete Hill, or the 1910 Punch Pete Hill. and there are dozens in the $3K-$20K range too.

I dont have any of the big names and big $$ cards... But here are examples of some issues/players....
