The earliest other card is Haxorus BW57/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). Both list 140 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. kawayoo illustrated that card, and Eske Yoshinob illustrated this one.

The illustrator line reads Eske Yoshinob. I count 177 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. Haxorus can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
