The earliest other card is Umbreon 13/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kimiya Masago illustrated that card, and Kagemaru Himeno illustrated this one. 41 other cards of Umbreon list a different HP.

I keep a set binder for Sandstorm, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Sandstorm set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Umbreon can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Eevee and the Eeveelutions. I still need this card.
