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 Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Hisao Nakamura illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Hitmonlee list a different HP.

Stages of Evolution is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Hitmonlee is an Evolved Pokémon, Hitmonlee's attacks do 20 more damage to your opponent's Pokémon (before applying Weakness and Resistance). The attack Stretch Kick lists no damage number. The cost is Fighting. Choose 1 of your opponent's Benched Pokémon. This attack does 10 damage to that Pokémon. (Don't apply Weakness and Resistance for Benched Pokémon.) Mega Kick is another attack lists 40 damage. The cost is Fighting, Colorless, Colorless. Weakness is Psychic ×2. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for Unseen Forces, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Unseen Forces 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.
