Arceus (#493) has 34 other cards in the catalog. Those other cards are in 10 sets. The other printings with a release date run from 2007 to 2026. The earliest other card is Arceus DP50/56 in DP Black Star Promos (2007). That card is named Arceus, while this one is Arceus VSTAR. That card lists 90 HP, and this one lists 280 HP. The rarity there is Promo, and here it is Rare Holo VSTAR. Kunihiko Yuyama illustrated that card, and 5ban Graphics illustrated this one. 25 other cards of Arceus list a different HP.
The illustrator line reads 5ban Graphics. I count 1,629 other cards in the catalog with that illustrator.
Brilliant Stars set binder is where a full Brilliant Stars set goes. This card fills one slot there. A generation binder holds one card of each species. Arceus can fill a slot in Generation 4 binder (Sinnoh). Themed lists that include this exact card are Mythical Pokémon, from Sword & Shield on. I still need this card.
