The earliest other card is Axew BW10/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Masakazu Fukuda illustrated that card, and Mizue illustrated this one. 14 other cards of Axew list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mizue. I count 184 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dragon Vault set binder is where a full Dragon Vault set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Axew can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
