The earliest other card is Aerodactyl 1/62 in Fossil (1999). That card is named Aerodactyl, while this one is Aerodactyl V. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 210 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare Ultra. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Nurikabe illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 17 other cards of Aerodactyl list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Nurikabe. I count 16 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Lost Origin set binder is where a full Lost Origin set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Aerodactyl can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Fossil Pokémon. I still need this card.
