The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Black & White set binder is where a full Black & White set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Emboar can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
