Pricing intrusions

I'm wondering if anyone has any data on what various kinds of data are worth
if stolen.  (I'd like to be able to give a client some faintly quantitative
information on what the economic value of their information is to a potential
intruder).

I don't even know the basics like what a credit-card number or calling card
number is worth on the black market.  How about someone's medical records,
communications with their lawyer, etc?

I guess I'm very innocent not to know this :-)

Thanks,

Stuart.
