Most picture disks were never intended to be played, hence their 
collectability is limited.  The only picture disks I know of that have 
anything other than novelty value are those produced for promotional 
use, or those whose pressing was strictly limited to a few thousand.
Just to name a few worthless titles: Meatloaf's Bat Out Of Hell, any
Boston disk, and the Sgt. Pepper soundtrack.
On the other hand, at one time the limited Police Zenyatta Mondatta
picture disk shaped like a policeman's badge and enclosed in a special
sleeve made to look like a badge case was selling for over $100 around 
here, when it turned up at all.  I don't think more than 1,000 were ever
produced, but that's just a guess.
There was a company in Europe that produced what they called Six Packs -
six song picture disks that WERE intended to be played, and had a 
comparable sound quality and needle life as a regular lp.
The Vogue 78s from the 30s and 40s are worth quite a bit as well, but 
since you didn't mention any specifics, I'm not sure any of this helps.
