The earliest other card is Tentacruel 44/62 in Fossil (1999). That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 100 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and kodama illustrated this one. 13 other cards of Tentacruel list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads kodama. I count 86 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

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