Sableye (#302) has 31 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 26 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2003 to 2025. The earliest other card is Sableye 10/100 in Sandstorm (2003). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Uncommon. Hajime Kusajima illustrated that card, and Shigenori Negishi illustrated this one. 27 other cards of Sableye list a different HP.

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

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