The earliest other card is Entei 34/53 in Wizards Black Star Promos (1999). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 120 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo. Ken Sugimori illustrated that card, and Nisota Niso illustrated this one. Retreat cost there is 1, and here it is 2. 32 other cards of Entei list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Nisota Niso. I count 39 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Crown Zenith set binder is where a full Crown Zenith set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Entei can fill a slot in Generation 2 binder (Johto). Themed lists that include this exact card are Legendary beasts. I still need this card.
