Tauros (#128) has 36 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 27 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2026. The earliest other card is Tauros 47/64 in Jungle (1999). That card is named Tauros, while this one is Tauros-GX. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 180 HP. The rarity there is Uncommon, and here it is Rare Ultra. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 3. 34 other cards of Tauros list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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