Sawk (#539) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 6 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Sawk 59/98 in Emerging Powers (2011). Both list 90 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. 2 other cards of Sawk list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoki Saito. I count 270 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. Sawk can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
