Magcargo (#219) has 29 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 21 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2001 to 2026. The earliest other card is Magcargo 33/64 in Neo Revelation (2001). That card is named Magcargo, while this one is Magcargo-GX. That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 210 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Ultra. Shin-ichi Yoshida illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Magcargo list a different HP.
The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.
Lost Thunder set binder is where a full Lost Thunder 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.
