The illustrator line reads HYOGONOSUKE. I count 76 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Twilight Masquerade set binder is where a full Twilight Masquerade 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.
