The earliest other card is Latias 14/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Daisuke Ito illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 30 other cards of Latias list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Daisuke Ito. I count 47 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Great Encounters set binder is where a full Great Encounters set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Latias can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
