The earliest other card is Machamp 8/102 in Base (1999). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 160 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and MPC Film illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 46 other cards of Machamp list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads MPC Film. I count 14 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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