The earliest other card is Aipom 26/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 60 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Aipom list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Tomokazu Komiya. I count 248 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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