The earliest other card is Crustle 7/101 in Noble Victories (2011). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Naoyo Kimura illustrated that card, and Tomokazu Komiya illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Crustle list a different HP.

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