Yes, punk on 8 track is pretty sought after. I think most of the Sire releases were available on 8 track (Ramones, Richard Hell, Television etc. etc). Also, proto punk stuff like the Stooges, MC5 are available on 8 track and also highly collected. A friend of mine has a Velvet Underground 8 track (white light white heat, I think) which would command some attention from collectors.
Also, it seems that 8 tracks from the final years of production are quite rare. Believe it or not, the majors were still manufacturing 8 tracks well into the mid 80s but I think were only available via record clubs and whatnot--making many of them pretty hard to find.
Oh yeah, also look for Quad 8 tracks--they are in much more demand compared to their regular stereo counterparts....
The vast majority of 8 tracks, however, are virtually free for the taking with little to no value at all!
