The earliest other card is Unown [J] 38/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card is named Unown [J], while this one is Unown VSTAR. That card lists 40 HP, and this one lists 250 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo VSTAR. Hideki Kazama illustrated that card, and PLANETA Mochizuki illustrated this one. 94 other cards of Unown list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads PLANETA Mochizuki. I count 131 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Silver Tempest set binder is where a full Silver Tempest set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Unown can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Unown. I still need this card.
