Eldegoss (#830) has 10 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 8 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2019 to 2024. The earliest other card is Eldegoss SWSH046/307 in SWSH Black Star Promos (2019). That card lists 80 HP, and this one lists 90 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Uncommon. Mina Nakai illustrated that card, and Akira Komayama illustrated this one. The regulation mark there is D, and here it is E. 8 other cards of Eldegoss list a different HP.

The illustrator line reads Akira Komayama. I count 239 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.

Fusion Strike set binder is where a full Fusion Strike set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Eldegoss can fill a slot in Generation 8 binder (Galar). I still need this card.
