Volbeat (#313) has 9 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 9 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2026. The earliest other card is Volbeat 53/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Common. Kyoko Umemoto illustrated that card, and Orca illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Volbeat list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Orca. I count 9 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. Volbeat can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
