Mesprit (#481) has 8 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 6 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2024. The earliest other card is Mesprit 14/123 in Mysterious Treasures (2007). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 70 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Ryo Ueda illustrated that card, and zig illustrated this one. 4 other cards of Mesprit list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads zig. I count 11 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Astral Radiance set binder is where a full Astral Radiance set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mesprit can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). I still need this card.
