Espathra (#956) 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 2024. The earliest other card is Espathra 103/198 in Scarlet & Violet (2023). Both list 110 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Promo. Hitoshi Ariga illustrated that card, and Sanosuke Sakuma illustrated this one. 6 other cards of Espathra list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Sanosuke Sakuma. I count 158 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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