I can think of a few video posters that should be desirable, but
probably aren't:
1) Annie (Disney) - No theatrical release
2) Not of this Earth (Traci Lords) - alternate artwork
3) Little Voice - alternate artwork. Video poster shows cast,
including Ewan MacGregor and Michael Caine. Theatrical poster only
shows the back of Jane Horrocks.
4) Plan 9 from Outer Space - alternate artwork. Obviously much
cheaper than the theatrical poster.

Changing subjects slightly, here is a video poster for Amadeus that
I just came across.

The description says:
THIS IS AN ORIGINAL VIDEO MOVIE VCR STANDUP POSTER FROM THE 1980s
SCIENCE FICTION MOVIE AMANDEUS (sic)
Is it safe to say that the dealer has not seen the movie?

There are some video posters that are starting to garner some more
serious interest.
Many of the titles that fell under the UK Video Nasties debacle
are start to pick up some steam, and there are some alternate
artworks for video posters that are also becoming increasingly
sought.
The Australian video release for Coppola's DRACULA had some mouth
watering point of sale (POS, the other meaning) produced. As a
part time collector of things vampiric on certain films, I was
glad a set of these outside display posters came my way a few
years ago.

The theaters (or the exchanges) would often have the backs of
lobby cards overprinted with a colorful border design with an 8" x
10" rectangle in the center, and then the stills would be either
stapled or taped to the back of the card, sometimes with the "four
cut method" Helmut describes (and when this was done, the still
was tucked into each of the four cuts, and then a piece of tape
was often put on each corner of the back of the still, which was
the FRONT of the lobby card).
I have sold hundreds of lobby cards altered in this way. It just
shows that lobby cards for films that had "made the circuit" were
considered complete trash, much like old newspapers, and that also
explains why next to no one saved them, and why they are rare today.
When someone makes a "limited edition" item, with 300 of that item
selling for $100 each, after 20 years there are usually 295 -300
still in collectors hands. But when you make something EVERYONE
considers both disposable and worthless, then after 20 years there
are usually next-to-none in collectors hands.
That is why video posters have potential to be one of the great
collectibles. I have never seen ONE person who thinks they will
ever be worth anything!

Not that uncommon practice in Australia in years gone by, either,
though more usually it was a paste-over on the back of the card,
giving the 8x10 an 11x14 backdrop.
