Its binder neighbours are Beedrill (#17) and Dugtrio (#19). Dragonair was printed without a holofoil panel; 16 of the 102 cards carry one. 11 Base Set cards print a higher HP than its 80. By checklist position it is 18 of 102, which puts it in the first third of the binder.
Which printing you are holding
Base Set shipped in three waves, so "Dragonair" names three separate market objects. 1st Edition carries the edition stamp and a flat frame; Shadowless drops the stamp and keeps the flat frame; Unlimited restores the drop shadow. Each printing of Dragonair therefore gets its own cell here, never one blended number.
