The earliest other card is Pinsir 9/64 in Jungle (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Eri Yamaki illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 3. 19 other cards of Pinsir list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Eri Yamaki. I count 39 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. Pinsir can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
