Vintage card prices have gone way up lately, but I've been wondering, how do they compare to coin prices - say of similar interest within the hobby and similar population? Population is a tough thing to identify, there's been arguments if PSA pops (even combined with SGC pops) have any value at all, but in comparison to pops of coins, I think it would be worthwhile. I don't know anything about coins, maybe some on this board does.

For example, what would be the equivalent of a T206 Lajoie with bat PSA 6 in the coin market. The Lajoie PSA 6 went for $1500 the other night.

I know the coin market is much larger than the card market (at least I think I know). If card prices have overpassed coin prices, then it is a sure sign there is a problem. But if coin prices have also gone up recently, maybe it's not a problem to be feared.
