I keep a set binder for Phantom Forces, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Phantom Forces set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Escavalier can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mitsuhiro Arita cards. I still need this card.
