The earliest other card is Absol 1/97 in Dragon (2003). That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. Naoyo Kimura illustrated that card, and Shiburingaru illustrated this one. 16 other cards of Absol list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shiburingaru. I count 35 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Crown Zenith set binder is where a full Crown Zenith set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Absol can fill a slot in Generation 3 binder (Hoenn). I still need this card.
