The earliest other card is Mewtwo 10/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Mewtwo, while this one is Mewtwo V-UNION. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 300 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and AKIRA EGAWA illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 3, and here it is 2. 85 other cards of Mewtwo list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads AKIRA EGAWA. I count 83 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

SWSH Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SWSH Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Mewtwo can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mew and Mewtwo. I still need this card.
