Primeape (#057) has 24 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Primeape 43/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and GOSSAN illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 21 other cards of Primeape list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads GOSSAN. I count 57 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Pitch Black set binder is where a full Pitch Black set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Primeape can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
