The earliest other card is Eiscue SWSH128/307 in SWSH Black Star Promos (2019). Both list 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Shiny. kirisAki illustrated that card, and Shigenori Negishi illustrated this one. The regulation mark there is E, and here it is D. 8 other cards of Eiscue list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shigenori Negishi. I count 151 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Shining Fates Shiny Vault set binder is where a full Shining Fates Shiny Vault set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Eiscue can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). I still need this card.
