The earliest other card is Nidoqueen 7/64 in Jungle (1999). Both list 90 HP. Both list the rarity Rare Holo. 15 other cards of Nidoqueen list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Ken Sugimori. I count 1,112 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Base Set 2 set binder is where a full Base Set 2 set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Nidoqueen can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto). I still need this card.
