The earliest other card is Abomasnow 12/100 in Stormfront (2008). Both list 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kazuyuki Kano illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Abomasnow list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kazuyuki Kano. I count 26 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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