Golem (#076) has 25 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 19 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Golem 36/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 140 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Masakazu Fukuda illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Golem list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Masakazu Fukuda. I count 471 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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