The earliest other card is Tornadus BW42/101 in BW Black Star Promos (2011). That card is named Tornadus, while this one is Tornadus-GX. That card lists 110 HP, and this one lists 180 HP. Both list the rarity Promo. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 18 other cards of Tornadus list a different HP.

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

SM Black Star Promos set binder is where a full SM Black Star Promos set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Tornadus can fill a slot in Generation 5 binder (Unova). I still need this card.
