I don't know if this is a recent issue with the game or if it's just me but none of the collectable achievements beyond the one for the cars have unlocked

This is definitely glitched. Got whole story but not this or the mystery fox achievements even though I've collected them all for both.

Had to collect them all again after wiping my save. Thankfully the game is pretty short.

This one is also glitched for me. After collecting the last black mask magazine, nothing popped up. I finished the mission and went to free ride and the whole story achievement popped up but not lending library... seems like I have to do them all again....

Video guides are great. I prefer maps that I can mark off what I've found, as such, I've found this on the tinterweb: https://mapgenie.io/mafia/maps/lost-heaven

I can't take any credit for it, but it's insanely good. You can filter by type and zoom right in. Love it.

You need all of them for various achievements. Fortunately, none of them can be missed. There are two types of collectibles, story and free roam collectibles. Story collectibles only spawn and collectable during the story.

These collectibles can you pick up every time via chapter select. All collectibles are immediately saved. Free roam collectibles are of course available in Free roam which is called Free Ride and in the story too! This mode unlock after chapter 2 or 3.

In the story you can also find a lot of available free roam collectibles close to the story. If you follow my story video, you will have collected 81 of the 172 collectibles at the end. The remaining 91 collectibles are in the seperate free roam video guide.

Use the interactive guide that allows you to easily track and find the collectibles.

It tells you if you need to be in a mission or if free roam can be used.

https://mapgenie.io/mafia/maps/lost-heaven

During freeroam or story you may pause the game and track collectibles.

There are no missable ones as each story mission is replayable.

The trophy is glitchy. Through the chapters I collected all the magazines that I missed and the trophy did not fall out. Although statistics say that everything is 100% collected. I don’t know what the treatment is.
Update. The trophy appeared right in the menu as soon as I restarted the game after a while.

I collected everything from a cheap magazine. Didn't receive the prize. Probably the game is also buggy

The trophy is not buggy, it’s just a mistake in the description, you need to collect not only cheap magazines but also everything else, there are 80 of them, once you collect them you will get the trophy

There are 20 magazines in the game, which are called “Cheap”, for the trophy you need to collect not only them, but all 80
