The earliest other card is Latios 15/40 in Nintendo Black Star Promos (2003). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 34 other cards of Latios list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

SM Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SM Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Latios can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
