Latias (#380) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Latias 14/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card is named Latias, while this one is Latias ex. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo EX. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Ryo Ueda illustrated this one. 32 other cards of Latias list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ryo Ueda. I count 462 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. Latias can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
