The earliest other card is Forretress 2/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. CR CG gangs illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Forretress list a different HP.

Call of Legends set binder is where a full Call of Legends set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Forretress can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
