Nincada (#290) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Nincada 67/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Toshinao Aoki illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Nincada list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Toshinao Aoki. I count 57 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Dragon set binder is where a full Dragon set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Nincada can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
