Shelmet (#616) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Shelmet 11/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 60 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Midori Harada illustrated that card, and OOYAMA illustrated this one. 3 other cards of Shelmet list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads OOYAMA. I count 29 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. Shelmet can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
