The earliest other card is Rayquaza ex 39/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card is named Rayquaza ex, while this one is Rayquaza. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Ryo Ueda illustrated that card, and nagimiso illustrated this one. 49 other cards of Rayquaza list a different HP.

Ascended Heroes set binder is where a full Ascended Heroes set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Rayquaza can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). Themed lists that include this exact card are Dragon-type cards, Box-art legendaries, Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza, Giant Pokémon, and All Rayquaza cards. I still need this card.
