The earliest other card is Tyranitar 12/75 in Neo Discovery (2001). That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 170 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. 46 other cards of Tyranitar list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Hironobu Yoshida. I count 38 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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