The earliest other card is Absol 1/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Prime. Naoyo Kimura illustrated that card, and Hideaki Hakozaki illustrated this one. 29 other cards of Absol list a different HP.

Eye of Disaster is listed as Poké-Body. As long as Absol is your Active Pokémon, whenever your opponent puts a Basic Pokémon from his or her hand onto his or her Bench, put 2 damage counters on that Pokémon. The attack Vicious Claw lists 70 damage. The cost is Darkness, Colorless. Choose 1 Pokémon from your hand and put it in the Lost Zone. (If you can't put a Pokémon in the Lost Zone, this attack does nothing.) Weakness is Fighting ×2. Resistance is Psychic -20. Retreat cost is 1.

I keep a set binder for HS—Triumphant, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the HS—Triumphant set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Absol can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
