What are the sets/issues that use photographs and not lithos

Yeah there are quite a few issues. However, a lot of them are much scarcer and somewhat less collected than the colorful and more mainstream pre-war issues such as T206, Goudey, Diamond Stars etc...

The sets I am referring to are ones based off of photos as opposed to litho/drawings etc... and not necessarily actual photo cards.

...But after reading the response posts, I'm not sure what you meant by the original question.

To clarify I was asking for sets based off photos (Zeenut, Exhibt, etc.) as opposed to litho/drawings (T205, T206, E90, etc). I did not know that many of the issues that appear to be photos are in fact ink prints such as Zeenuts and Exhibits. I seem to learn something new every time on the boards here, so thanks for the information!

T206 were based on photos.
I believe T205 and E90-1 were as well.

Only a handful of sets are obviously based on something else.
E91- all of them
Buchners

Maybe a few others?

There was an interesting article posted here a few years back by someone by the name of Bri.an Parke.r about the E91 set and how the facial depictions of many of the 99 cards issued were based upon actual photographs of the players. Check it out!

Interesting. I've always thought they were generic images reused. I'll have to find that article.

Hi Steve,

You are not alone...many collectors still believe that all of the E91's are generic. Here is the link to the article:
