The earliest other card is Cacturne 2/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 110 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Mina Nakai illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 10 other cards of Cacturne list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Mina Nakai. I count 77 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Crimson Invasion set binder is where a full Crimson Invasion set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Cacturne can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
