The earliest other card is Meowth 56/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 50 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Promo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 53 other cards of Meowth list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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