Articuno (#144) has 45 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 29 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Articuno 22/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and Jiro Sasumo illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 32 other cards of Articuno list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Jiro Sasumo. I count 29 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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