If they have paper labels glued to the center of each side that say Decca, Dot,Columbia,Okeh, etc than they are the common 78's of the day and yes, they will break nicely if dropped on a hard surface or even if dropped on their edge on a softer surface. The value of a a good part of them is sentimental but yes, there are some that are collectible and valuable like the jazz ones you mentioned and there's an uptick in value of some 78's from the early big band era too. Depends on the performers and rarity.
Searching E-Bay is a wealth of information on past sales prices and to get familiar with what you have.
