The earliest other card is Palkia 11/130 in Diamond & Pearl (2007). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Nakaoka illustrated that card, and Eske Yoshinob illustrated this one. 35 other cards of Palkia list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Eske Yoshinob. I count 177 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Shining Legends set binder is where a full Shining Legends set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Palkia can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
