I assume this card now resides in a PSA slab.

IMHO, describing that card as "very scarce" is extremely conservative. Personally, I am more than OK with "down-right rare."
I'm glad it at least went to someone who will appreciate it (buy rare, significant, and in the best condition you can find or afford!).
May your collecting be joyful,
