As a die hard collector, I can point you to a couple good resources:
there is a fantastic collection reference on the official boards in the "Quests" forum - its constantly updated and can be downloaded in Excel format.
you can find it here:

also here on the EQ2i wiki page:

I've had a half - built mod specifically for collection tracking on my hard drive for a long time, but it currently wont work due to SOE limitations... I keep hoping they will add the functionality to make it work someday....
hope this helps - good luck hunting those shinies !
