[beta branch] Number comparison issue

[KassLavender]

Describe the bug

Alright, there seems to be some situations in which mod, passed to ease_dollars, appears to be of type table instead of number.
You can see this by editing Talisman's talisman.lua hook:

local edo = ease_dollars
function ease_dollars(mod, instant)
  print("Talisman:")
  print(type(mod))
  print("--")
  if Talisman.config_file.disable_anims then--and (Talisman.calculating_joker or Talisman.calculating_score or Talisman.calculating_card) then
    mod = mod or 0
    if to_big(mod) > to_big(0) then inc_career_stat('c_dollars_earned', mod) end
    G.GAME.dollars = G.GAME.dollars + mod
    Talisman.dollar_update = true
  else return edo(mod, instant) end
end

and paperback's hook:

local ease_dollars_ref = ease_dollars
function ease_dollars(mod, instant)
  print("Paperback:")
  if type(mod) == "table" then
    for i, v in pairs(mod) do
      print(i)
      print(v)
    end
  end
  print(type(mod))
  print("--")
  if mod > 0 and next(SMODS.find_card("j_paperback_coin_collection")) then
    for _, c in ipairs(SMODS.find_card("j_paperback_coin_collection")) do
      mod = mod + c.ability.extra.dollars
      SMODS.calculate_effect({ message = "+$" .. c.ability.extra.dollars }, c)
    end
  end
  return ease_dollars_ref(mod, instant)
end

Where

Gives a surreal output at "Cash Out" at the end of a won round:

INFO - [G] Paperback:
INFO - [G] array
INFO - [G] table: 0x03a2a308
INFO - [G] sign
INFO - [G] 1
INFO - [G] table
INFO - [G] --

At other instances of ease_dollars being called, such as with Golden Joker without a sleeve, payout works normally, and looks something like:

INFO - [G] Paperback:
INFO - [G] number
INFO - [G] --
INFO - [G] Talisman:
INFO - [G] number
INFO - [G] --

Please note that with only Talisman and Sleeves unlocked, having a deck with yellow sleeve and reaching "Cash Out" outputs

INFO - [G] Talisman:
INFO - [G] table
INFO - [G] --

So it appears that Talisman is able to handle the table being passed to its hook of ease dollars.

My guess is that the number that is being passed needs to be able to handle talisman-type numbers. This does not occur with Paperback and Sleeves but not Talisman.

To Reproduce

Start a run with say Red Deck, have Yellow Sleeve. When you hit "Cash Out", crash. Seems to not happen with other sleeves? Could be situational

Expected behavior

ease_dollars being able to handle mod value
