The earliest other card is Buizel DP13/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Common. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Ken Sugimori illustrated this one. 7 other cards of Buizel list a different HP.

Diamond & Pearl set binder is where a full Diamond & Pearl set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Buizel can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
