Mamoswine (#473) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2008 to 2025. The earliest other card is Mamoswine 9/146 in Legends Awakened (2008). That card lists 140 HP, and this one lists 150 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and match illustrated this one. 10 other cards of Mamoswine list a different HP.

The attack Frost Stone lists 50+ damage. The cost is Water, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin. If heads, this attack does 20 more damage and the Defending Pokémon is now Paralyzed. Continuous Headbutt is another attack lists 90× damage. The cost is Water, Water, Colorless, Colorless. Flip a coin until you get tails. This attack does 90 damage times the number of heads. Weakness is Metal ×2. Retreat cost is 4. The flavor text reads "When the temperature rose at the end of the ice age, most Mamoswine disappeared."

I keep a set binder for Plasma Storm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Plasma Storm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mamoswine can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
