The earliest other card is Moltres 21/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 42 other cards of Moltres list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 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. Moltres can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
