The earliest other card is Lapras 10/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mizue illustrated this one. 47 other cards of Lapras list a different HP.

The attack Water Arrow lists no damage number. The cost is Water, Colorless. This attack does 20 damage to 1 of your opponent's Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Surf is another attack lists 60 damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 2. The flavor text reads "It loves crossing the sea with people and Pokémon on its back. It understands human speech."

I keep a set binder for Next Destinies, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Next Destinies set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Lapras can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
