    There are six different collectibles in Far Cry 5, Baseball Cards, Records, Bobbleheads, Lighters, Comic Books, and Whiskey Casks.

    Baseball Cards: Talk to the man at the Oberlin Picnic Area. It’s located south of the Whitetail Park Ranger Station.
    Bobbleheads: Find Dave Fawler, a man beside a cabin south of Widow’s Creek.
    Comic Books: Talk to Nadine Abercrombie on a trailer parked in John Seed Region.
    Lighters: Go to Redler Residence in John Seed’s territory. Talk to Wendell to begin the quest for lighters.
    Vinyl Records: Enter the Wolf’s Den in Jacob Seed’s region. This guy is a quest-giver, so you may have to complete some other quests before you can get this one.
    Whiskey Casks: Go down to the Can of Worms Fishing Store, West of Peaches Taxidermy. Talk to the woman standing inside to begin the whiskey cask hunting quest.

    After you begin each quest to find the collectible, most times one of the collectibles are nearby but also go to the nearest shop and in the items section all the way at the bottom you can spend $1200 to buy a map for each of the collectibles ($7200 for all 6 maps) that will place their locations on the map with a marker. Go to the markers and collect 1 of each of the collectibles and the achievement will pop smile

    I'm missing a couple because I've already collected them and they are not on the map, best bet is to start the mission and buy the map so you can find them all. You only need 1 for the achievement though dive

    Captain HeroicPlaying from GamePass on the XBox Series X, this is a very simple achievement, no unlocking issues.

    Rigpig1919Why the downvotes, it’s a great solution?

    Reineldinho1981Great solution, but I believe you don't need to start the mission for the collectibles to show up. I haven't accepted 5 out of the 6 sidequest for them to show up at least

    Rat Pack Achievement/Trophy Guide

    Note: I earned this on the PS4 version of the game.
    In Far Cry 5 there are 6 different collectibles that you can collect. These include the following:
    Baseball Cards
    Cheeseburger Bobbleheads
    Comic Books
    Vinyl Crates
    Vietnam Lighters
    Whiskey Crates
    .

    For this specific achievement/trophy you will only need to collect one of every item, however, I have created video guides on each and every collectible and their locations to make it quick and easy. You can do this straight from the start of the game once you have access to free roam. You can also purchase Maps for $1200 each from the stores after accepting each quest which will help pinpoint the location if you're still having trouble. If you're low on money, check out my guide for the prepper stashes where you'll earn about $30,000 by the end of it.

    LiveRonanklanI just want to let you know you do not have to talk to the person before you're able to pick up any of the Collectibles... I was able to Luke one of each collectible without talking to anybody. just figured I would let you know it's not a requirement start the quest before you're able to pick them up...

    it'd be really nice to know what shops sell what match though... Because I got a message that said oh this map is now available but when I went to the shop it wasn't there...

    HolyHalfDeadLiveRonanklan - all shops, garages and hangers sell all the maps.
