Spidops (#918) has 7 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 5 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2023 to 2026. The earliest other card is Spidops 9/102 in Scarlet & Violet Black Star Promos (2023). That card is named Spidops, while this one is Spidops ex. That card lists 120 HP, and this one lists 260 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Double Rare. Anesaki Dynamic illustrated that card, and takuyoa illustrated this one. 5 other cards of Spidops list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads takuyoa. I count 64 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Scarlet & Violet set binder is where a full Scarlet & Violet set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Spidops can fill a slot in Generation 9 binder (Paldea). I still need this card.
