It's nice that you gave Clink extra large scans.  Much better than what they usually offer.

I sold my Jumbo Comics 8 several years ago. Was a couple grades lower than the one you're selling with bad page quality, but here's how mine turned out.

Your's was sold all that long ago, 2019 looks like.  Here's my 2.5 last of the truly "Jumbo" editions. Larger scan here

Took me a while, have to keep cutting off the bottom of the scan because of the dang sticker.

Yeah I think mine would have done better if it wasn't deemed to have slightly brittle pages, but back then solid. Have to imagine it would go for a solid amount more now, and obviously yours should do considerably better.

Yeah, look like it sold for slightly lower than condition guide at the time for a copy with the much dreaded PQ designator of Slightly Brittle.  

As you have stated, will probably sell for a lot more in todays' more robust marketplace if this nicely presenting copy of Speed 3 with the even worse PQ desigantion of Brittle Pages is any indication:

Sold yesterday for $456 or a rather surprising almost 3X condition guide value for a CGC 2.0 graded copy with BRITTLE PAGES.  Makes me wonder when and what a copy in decent shape would go for considering that both the HA and CC archives indicates only VG+/CGC 4.5 raw/graded copies or lower have sold save for only one CGC 6.5 copy on Heritage and that was all the way back in 2004.

Yeah, that's an illusive book right there. Love Superhero books from before 1940.  They are all a fun chase.

Yeah I mean brittle is just the proverbial death penalty, usually. So seems solid I imagine for this Speed 3 as you said, or 3X. I sold a coverless slightly incomplete Superman 1 a long time ago. It got slightly brittle pages from CGC because two detached pages were in that condition. All the other pages were pretty nice. Boy oh boy do I wish I sold that differently because I got wrecked on that final sale at auction lol.

Yes, since I started my vintage comic book collecting by skipping the entire SA  and jumping from the MA books off the shelves of the LCS right back to the pre-hero GA books, I also absolutely loved those books from the 1930's.  

Especially the earlier ones from prior to 1938 where each year you went back just seemed like a whle lot more than just the one year, considering how rare and HTF those early books were.  Definitely tough to acquire a book from 1936 and even so much tougher to find one from 1935 and I guess that's why I jumped back into the regular GA time period from 1938 onwards after my short foray with the pre-hero books.

That's why I love my Strange Adventures #2. Not a single color break on the spine, or anywhere really. I honestly thought I had a 9.2 or 9.4 coming back for the single highest graded when I initially sent it in. There's two other 9.0's, and I've only seen one of them, the Bethlehem Pedigree copy, but mine blows it out of the water.
