The earliest other card is Aerodactyl 1/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Aerodactyl, while this one is Aerodactyl ex. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Hikaru Koike illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 23 other cards of Aerodactyl list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hikaru Koike. I count 46 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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