The earliest other card is Garchomp C LV.X DP46/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Garchomp C LV.X, while this one is Garchomp. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Shizurow illustrated that card, and Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated this one. 33 other cards of Garchomp list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mitsuhiro Arita. I count 721 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Supreme Victors set binder is where a full Supreme Victors set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Garchomp can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
