The earliest other card is Beedrill 17/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Beedrill, while this one is Beedrill G. Both list 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Common. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Wataru Kawahara illustrated this one. 22 other cards of Beedrill list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Wataru Kawahara. I count 35 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. Beedrill can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
