The earliest other card is Hoppip 61/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 50 HP, and this one lists 40 HP. Both list the rarity Common. Atsuko Nishida illustrated that card, and Toshinao Aoki illustrated this one. 9 other cards of Hoppip list a different HP.

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