Steelix (#208) has 33 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 23 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2000 to 2025. The earliest other card is Steelix 15/111 in Neo Genesis (2000). That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 180 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Rare. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. 28 other cards of Steelix list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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