I keep a set binder for FireRed & LeafGreen, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the FireRed & LeafGreen set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Articuno can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Legendary birds. I still need this card.
