Back in the day, late 80's, an occasional saturday morning trip was to Bradley's Records in halifax with my hard earned YTS salary to buy a picture disc, purely for aesthetic reasons (disclaimer for poor music choice) and *investment value.
So what have you got and can you retire on the value.
My provisional list, from recollection and not recovering them from deep storage.

Red Box - For America (in the shape of a red box)
Madonna - Holiday - just a picture of her in a lacy top-cum-shorts
It Bites- Call al the heroes - just a picture.
Prince - U got the look, 12" picture disc
Zz top - Sleeping bag - in the shape of a sleeping bag.

Not a picture disc but a 10" Blow monkeys vinyl, each side having two tracks but running concentrically rather than consecutively so lifting the needle and dropping in the same place played the other track.

On refelection, perhaps I wont be retiring soon on the proceeds of selling these!

I have

Red vinyl copy of The Exploited - Live On Stage
White vinyl copy of The Damned - Phantasmagoria
Picture disc of The Meteors - Monkey's Breath

There may be others I don't remember. My other half will hate you when I start digging out all my old records tonight 🙂

Have several including Bleach on blue vinyl, but this is probably my favourite (purely for the disc and memories - song is distinctly average):

I've got 2 DJ shadow picture discs, the ones with Dick Cheaney and Donald Rumsfeld. Never been played and hope they become collectable at some point.

I've got a bunch of 12" coloured vinyl singles, and albums; a pink version of the Stones [i]Miss You[/i], a red version of Television's [i]Adventure[/i] album, that Cars 7" single above, plus quite a few more.
Oh yeah, just remembered, a picture disc version of [i]Tubular Bells[/i], with a strange bit added on at the end of someone flying a control-line aeroplane in a hanger, and [i]Sergeant Pepper...[/i] picture disc.

Too many coloured vinyls to dig out, including recent ones by Badbadnotgood and Bus Driver. Only a few 12", have got this -

LTD edition of 20000 apparently! Be lucky to sell 20000 these days.

That's some lo-quality photo-shopping on that FNM disk!
Sadly, the only one I can find is a 7" of Rock the Casbah.

I only had one which was got the time by anthrax no doubt warping in a box somewhere.

I also had a very red Metallica single from the load era (possibly "until it sleeps" with the horrid remix on the b side)
