Welcome! This is one of my favorite Nightwing issues, and I wanted to share. XD
VF stands for "very fine". It's part of the comics grading scale: mint, near mint, very fine, fine, very good, good, fair, poor, and then there are a bunch of grey areas in between each grading.
So when I say I found a very fine copy of an extremely hard to find comic for $10 (Birds of Prey 8 usually goes for $60 and up, depending on the grade), I'm saying I got an amazing bargain.
Thank you very much -- I've seen only one panel of this before, and then also heard various times the _infamous_ quote that starts this book, so it's really great to finally see the whole story! And (which is sadly not always the case) this met and _surpassed_ all of my expectations! :) Thanks again!

Um, out of curiosity. What is a VF copy?
