Ampharos (#181) has 37 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2026. The earliest other card is Ampharos 1/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card is named Ampharos, while this one is Ampharos δ. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Ampharos list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kagemaru Himeno. I count 656 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dragon Frontiers set binder is where a full Dragon Frontiers set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Ampharos can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Delta Species cards and Card number 1. I still need this card.
