The earliest other card is Nidoqueen 7/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Mizue illustrated this one. 17 other cards of Nidoqueen list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mizue. I count 184 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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