The earliest other card is Scizor 33/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card is named Scizor, while this one is Scizor E4. That card lists 70 HP, and this one lists 80 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Uncommon. Hironobu Yoshida illustrated that card, and Kouki Saitou illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 1. 31 other cards of Scizor list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Kouki Saitou. I count 652 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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