The earliest other card is Magcargo 33/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and Miki Tanaka illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Magcargo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Miki Tanaka. I count 192 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Cosmic Eclipse set binder is where a full Cosmic Eclipse set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Magcargo can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). I still need this card.
