Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Bulbasaur list a different HP.

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