Staraptor (#398) has 11 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Staraptor 16/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Masahiko Ishii illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Staraptor list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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