The earliest other card is Venusaur 15/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Venusaur, while this one is Celebi & Venusaur-GX. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 270 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Ultra. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 4. 39 other cards of Venusaur list a different HP. Celebi (#251) has 36 cards in the catalog.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 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. Venusaur and Celebi can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto) and Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Kanto starters, without Charizard. I still need this card.
