The earliest other card is Raticate 40/102 in Base (1999). Both list 60 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Naoki Saito illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Raticate list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Naoki Saito. I count 270 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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