Venusaur (#003) has 46 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 28 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 1999 to 2025. The earliest other card is Venusaur 15/102 in Base (1999). That card is named Venusaur, while this one is Celebi & Venusaur-GX. That card lists 100 HP, and this one lists 270 HP. The rarity there is Rare Holo, and here it is Promo. Mitsuhiro Arita illustrated that card, and Shin Nagasawa illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 2, and here it is 4. 39 other cards of Venusaur list a different HP. Celebi (#251) has 36 cards in the catalog.

The illustrator line reads Shin Nagasawa. I count 303 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. Venusaur and Celebi can fill a slot in Generation 1 binder (Kanto) and Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Kanto starters, without Charizard. I still need this card.
