Sawk (#539) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 7 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Sawk 62/114 in Black & White (2011). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare, and here it is Uncommon. Naoki Saito illustrated that card, and Dsuke illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Sawk list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Dsuke. I count 13 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

White Flare set binder is where a full White Flare set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Sawk can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
