The earliest other card is Dragonite 5/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card is named Dragonite, while this one is Dragonite-GX. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 250 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Rainbow. Toshinao Aoki illustrated that card, and ConceptLab illustrated this one. 43 other cards of Dragonite list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads ConceptLab. I count 19 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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. Dragonite can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite. I still need this card.
