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 Paldean Tauros. That card lists 60 HP, and this one lists 130 HP. Both list the rarity Uncommon. Kagemaru Himeno illustrated that card, and Oswaldo KATO illustrated this one. 21 other cards of Tauros list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Oswaldo KATO. I count 84 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Paldea Evolved set binder is where a full Paldea Evolved 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). Themed lists that include this exact card are Hisuian and Paldean forms. I still need this card.
