The earliest other card is Lugia 9/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Anesaki Dynamic illustrated this one. 31 other cards of Lugia list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Anesaki Dynamic. I count 134 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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