Latios (#381) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 22 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Latios 15/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Daisuke Ito illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 34 other cards of Latios list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Daisuke Ito. I count 47 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

POP Series 7 set binder is where a full POP Series 7 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Latios can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
