The earliest other card is Abomasnow 19/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Kazuyuki Kano illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 15 other cards of Abomasnow list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Plasma Blast set binder is where a full Plasma Blast set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Abomasnow can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
