The current total is 201 collectibles: 38 newspapers, 41 baseball cards, 29 comics, 10 secret figurines, and 83 schematics. The forgiving part is that many missed newspapers, baseball cards, and comics can be bought later. The unforgiving part is that secret figurines, schematics, some side-job rewards, and the final missions still need clean pickup discipline.

What you can buy later
Current guide coverage says the following sets can be purchased later if missed during normal mission play:
- Newspapers
- Baseball cards
- Comics
The fallback shops are tied to the P.I. Office and Roadhouse cleanup loop.
What stays missable
The important exceptions are:
- Secret figurines cannot be bought later.
- Schematics cannot be bought later.
- Side-job reward cards still depend on actually finishing those side jobs.
- Collectibles in the final missions should be treated as missable until proven otherwise.
That is why side jobs and schematic routes matter even if the core collectible sets seem forgiving on paper.
Achievement reads
Extra! Extra!
Requires all 38 newspapers.
Card Shark
Requires all 41 baseball cards, including the cards that come from side jobs such as Oh Yes… They Float and Friends in Deep Places.
The Prequel
Requires all 29 comics.
We’ll B.A.N.G., ok?
You only need 63 of the 83 schematics for the achievement, not the full schematic set.
How to stay ahead of misses
- Clear side jobs before advancing major story beats.
- Treat schematics and figurines as non-negotiable pickups during live mission routing.
- Use shop cleanup later only for newspapers, baseball cards, and comics.
- Keep manual saves around late-game missions if you are doing a first-run completionist attempt.

No dedicated achievement is currently tied to the full figurine set.
