The earliest other card is Treecko 75/109 in Ruby & Sapphire (2003). That card is named Treecko, while this one is Treecko ★. That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Common, and here it is Rare Holo Star. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Treecko list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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