The earliest other card is Altaria 2/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Kyoko Umemoto illustrated this one. 35 other cards of Altaria list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kyoko Umemoto. I count 174 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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