I don't know anything about "IGB" and why their restoration techniques might be viewed with more disfavor then others examples of restoration.

At one point their "restoration" bordered on artistic "recreation". There is even a "variant" edition of Action 10 out there 

I believe they have since toned down their "restoration on steroids" stance.

It looks insanely nice. Hard from the scan to identify the piece added.

the spine, which is good or bad depending on your view.  Good in that the art which draws your eye has not been recreated, but bad for those to whom structure is perhaps more important than eye appeal

Given that the 9.2 is "Extensive A-5" (including pieces added, color touch, cleaning, tear-seals, and reinforcement) with both a married centerfold and a married cover, which normally would garner the description "frankenbook" on this board, what kind of restoration does IGB do that makes it so much worse than this book?

Is it just that they do "B" or "C" quality work?

Did you miss the epic thread on them (in which they participated for a while) a couple of years ago?  I think it may have been nuked, but it was a classic.

Swapping out the majority of the pages with a cfo interior sounds like a good idea if you're trying to do the least amount of work in restoring a book, but, in retrospect, It would have gotten the same notations, but without the "m" word ("married") if it had been restored by leaf casting all of the pages, and that might actually have sounded more appealing to some buyers.

"cfo interior"?

An interior missing the centerfold.   Married to the cover and centerfold from a trimmed, spiral bound file copy so that less of the book would require leaf-casting in the resto process.

The book had additional CT and was subsequently resubbed for a bump ...

but despite the inpainted bat cape the book managed to maintain its A5 tier.

No, pretty sure it was a straight re-sub. Scuffs (or whatever you want to call it) on the the 8.5 holder gone with new holder.

It must have been on the inner well then...

any way Nice grade bump. Even though final hammer perhaps turned out a little

Ironically, it would have hammered higher if there had been more restoration.  If I am right and this was a bound copy, which needed leaf casting on the entire spine, and when they went to restore it they married it to a coverless, missing a centerfold, in order to do as little resto as possible.  But the level and the description of the restoration would have been the same if they had leaf-cast every page, and it would not have had the "married" on the label.

This result shows that married books = Frankenstein extensive
