This should be the first guide that shows up. Shows everything, nothing against the other guide ahead of this one but I prefer yours. Thank you

Hi everyone,
In order to get this achievement you'll need to have collected the following:
Dime Detective Magazines
Black Mask Magazines
Super Science Stories Magazines
Terror Tales Magazines
Gangsters Monthly Comics
Cigarette Cards
Hidden Cars
Mystery Foxes
However when I collected my first mystery fox I got the Collection achievement despite not collecting all the Mystery Foxes. I'm not sure if that was intentional.
So to be safe I would just collect everything that you need to do anyway. If you prefer an online map click on the collectibles above to maps created by PowerPyx.
Below are notes detailing all the collectibles, they have been split into their own corresponding category. I've surrounded them with spoiler tags as there's loads of collectibles and it wouldn't be reading friendly.
If you are looking for something chronological, use the guide written by Zasta 360GameTV.
Dime Detective Magazines
Black Mask Magazines
Super Science Stories Magazines
Terror Tales Magazine Locations
Gangster Monthly Comics
Cigarette Cards

Mystery Foxes
If you are still struggling, feel free to use the videos or online map created by PowerPyx as a reference.

I didn`t need the Mysterious Foxes. I only had 5 when I collected my last comic book and the achievement unlocked.

I was aware that Fox 50 was missing, unsure about Monthly 5, I'll edit that in and keep a look out.

For this achievement, you need to collect:
Collectibles are located in both the story chapters (81) and in ‘Free Ride’ (91). There are 172 in total (including Mystery Foxes). Refer to the individual achievements for a breakdown of how many are in each mode. Also, none of these are missable as you can select any chapter as you complete them (although it’s recommended that you collect them while playing to avoid backtracking).
Collectibles are saved immediately when you pick them up so you don’t have to re-collect any if you happen to die during the story. Also, they appear on your mini-map if they are nearby, but it’s almost unnoticeable.
To see which collectibles you are missing, press then to the ‘Collectibles’ tab. You can sort them numerically by pressing . Unfortunately, this tab will not tell you where the missing collectibles are, just which ones you are missing. If you are following 360GameTV’s videos below, they will show you in the video’s comments the numbers of each collectible that correspond to the in-game collectibles, making the video easy to follow. Timestamps are also provided for navigation.

You will get this after getting all of the collectibles. See Lending Library , Full Set , Picture Book Connoisseur , and Car Thief Number One for more info.
This is being listed as missable because if you miss any during the story chapters, then you will need to go back for them on another playthrough.

I would advise doing this:
1. Go through the story and don't worry. Enjoy the game, because there are a few collectibles in the story and almost everything is in sight, you will definitely collect more than half.
2. Don’t rush to collect everything into categories, like comrade cyrax in the post, you’ll waste a lot of time.
3. Once you complete the story, go into walk mode and collect everything exactly according to the guide in riv666’s hint.
4. And only now let’s collect what we didn’t find in the plot. I had about 5-10 collectibles, after completely clearing the “walk”. Finding what's missing has become much easier.
5. You can filter the numbers of journals, cards, etc. in order, see which numbers you are missing in your account, go to Google to find out in which missions you can find this. Group everything so that you don’t have to go through the same mission several times later. For example, in the fifth mission I missed both the card and the magazine, so I immediately took them in one go, and you can also get a “lower grade” trophy at the end of this mission. So to speak, I killed three birds with one stone. In general, I had to replay 6 missions. As for me, this is the best option in terms of spending time and enjoying the game.
PS Before going through the story, you can look for only hidden cars in the walk mode, there are only five of them, but they are very fast and will help you with the story, because... After the game you won't really need them. + five more cars can be opened in missions with a phone booth, I would also recommend going through the walk in advance.

In the collection menu if you click , then you can sort the logs in the correct order.
By default, they are displayed by pick time.
