I keep a set binder for Noble Victories, meant to hold every card of that set. This card is one slot in the Noble Victories set binder. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tirtouga can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). Themed lists that include this exact card are Fossil Pokémon. I still need this card.
