Here's why:
* Collective nouns describe groups of things. For example, a "flock" of birds, a "herd" of elephants, a "pack" of wolves.
* "Rare" describes a quality or characteristic. It doesn't inherently refer to a group.
Instead of a collective noun, you could use phrases like:
* A collection of rarities
* A trove of rare items
* A cache of rare artifacts
* A selection of scarce objects
The best choice will depend on the specific context and the type of rare things you're discussing.
