How does it compare to the print quality on Sowing? Pics please :drool:
I didn't put them side by side , just going off first impressions and I would say it is comparable to Sowing , I'll put some pics up after work .

Please feel free to edit your post where you quote my typos :lol: :lol:

Done.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who noticed the quality difference between Totem 2 and Sowing. No one seems to mention it but I think it's quite noticeable

argh, now you're making me think of buying a 4th for trade bait. I bought 1 for me, 2 for gifts.

It seems like almost everyone who has said they're buying more than 2 has also included the word gift somewhere in their post, as these would be great gifts, so I'm not sure about that
either way, check the sales history for totem II and tell me how many sold for less than face. a good buy whatever your motives.

Nice to hear these look better than totem, I wasn't thrilled with how those looked.

Does weaving look just as bad as totem?

I wouldnt say Totem looks bad, just not as defined as some of Joshes work , weaving is very nice imo

The print quality on totem is the same as on weaving, I have yet to see Evacuation so I cannot comment of that
As for the artwork I like totem better than weaving, and cannot wait for evacuation

i dont agree at all , weaving is much more detailed and intricate as far as quality of printing , I do belive weaving was also printed by LAG was it not ? Totem was printed directly by TS.

My fav mini Keyes is still my Totem IV show card , it is seriously suberb .

I'm not sure who printed weaving - I picked it up secondhand a few years ago.
I may think less of the print job than you due to my dislike of the image overall, Weaving is probably one of my least favorite Keyes images along with The Call and Watcher.

Nonetheless I can see no difference in the print quality between the two. Can't wait for Evacuation though

Are we talking print quality or image quality??? For example: I think Sowers is so stunning partially because the OG was HUGE so when you shrink it down to print size the detail looks amazingly sharp. Totem, not so much. It has nothing to do with the actual printing. Also, the paper plays a major factor too. I assume Totem & Weaving have the same paper???
