The earliest other card is Zubat 70/82 in Team Rocket (2000). Both list 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 18 other cards of Zubat list a different HP.

Fossil set binder is where a full Fossil set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Zubat can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
