Golurk (#623) has 17 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 14 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2011 to 2025. The earliest other card is Golurk 72/101 in Noble Victories (2011). Both list 130 HP. Both list the rarity Rare. Kouki Saitou illustrated that card, and kawayoo illustrated this one. 11 other cards of Golurk list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kawayoo. I count 209 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Ancient Origins set binder is where a full Ancient Origins set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Golurk can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
