Kabuto (#140) has 12 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 12 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2023. The earliest other card is Kabuto 50/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 30 HP, and this one lists 50 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Uncommon. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Yukiko Baba illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Kabuto list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Yukiko Baba. I count 151 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Skyridge set binder is where a full Skyridge set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Kabuto can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
