The earliest other card is Hitmonlee 7/62 in Fossil (1999). Both list 60 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Atsuko Nishida illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 9 other cards of Hitmonlee list a different HP.

The attack Smash Kick lists 10 damage. The cost is Colorless. Stretch Kick is another attack lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting, Fighting, Colorless. If your opponent has any Benched Pokémon, choose 1 of them and this attack does 30 damage to it. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 2.

I keep a set binder for Expedition Base Set, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Expedition Base Set set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Hitmonlee can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
