Each job tier has a different collection item. As the levels of jobs go up, there are more collections per level. For example the Street Thug collection is only diamond cards. At the Solider tier, the collections are poker chips, statues, and club cards.

You can see your collections by clicking on the inventory tab, then clicking collections and vault. Once you have all the pieces for a certain collection, you should vault it.
