Jim Culver has passed his Personal Story which says: "Each time an Undead monster appears at Arkham, Jim instead immediately claims it as a monster trophy". But the Mythos card that was drawn "Clothing Drive" states that the Undead Mummies which are generated cannot be taken as trophies. Which card takes precedence?
Sweet Harmony
Clothing drive. Those mummies aren't actually real monsters drawn from the cup, and they are countless: every time an investigator enters a street area (even the same street area where another investigator passed) meets a Mummy. I'd allow Jim's ability to be applied only to "phisycal" monster tokens

Bleh! Not anymore. If it's the Revised Dark Pharaoh, the Clothing Drive has been gratefully "nerfed" to include only the Streets on which the Investigator ends their movement. (Masochists like Julia can do what they want, I suppose.
)
And I agree that Jim's Story Ability only applies to cardboard chits drawn from the Cup with Undead on the back.

Good to know! I'm still studying Miskatonic Horror, the revised Pharoah will probably stay on a shelf until 2013 / 2014!
Hahaha, I still prefer the old Clothing Drive, and I also made a "Mummy" spawn monster token to use as a quick reference.
I always found it odd that Father Michael is more concerned with the tattered clothing of the "homeless" than their tendency to attack anyone who walks by. Or do they somehow differentiate investigators from normal people?

"Normal people" all stay indoors!
Extra! Extra! Read all about it. Succesful Jazz musician to open bandage store!
Asked about his plentiful supply of bandages proprietor Jim Culver says, "I jes blows mah trumpet and they'se a-come runnin' Seems a man can't nowhere these days without fellahs fallin' over 'emselves to offerin' him bandages. Mos' 'em don't even say nuffin' jes groans and mumbles 'bout Messer No-thin Car."
Experts are divided about the identity Mr. No-Thin Car, anthropologists from the Miskatonic suggest that the name may be corruption of a long forgotten Egyptian Pharaoh, whereas Joey T. Ratt, dance hall organiser for Hibbs Society for Improving Gentlemen is of the opinion that No-Thin Car is a popular New Orleans saxaphonist and, perhaps, he indicates solicitously, whilst proffering an open palm, a pseudonym for the great Culver himself.
Neither is Culver's new venture is not without its critics. Father Michael, Pastor of St Mary's Church, describes the new bandages as "an abomination unto the Lord" whereas Nurse Sharon states: "These bandages are worthless. Crawling with lice and fleas. It shouldn't surprise me if they were three thosuand years old."
But Mr Culver's enterprise certainly seems to have caught the public imagination. "Whereever he goes there is a crowd," says local socialite and hotel owner, Ma Mathison, "but it seems to be formed of the worst kind of reprobates. Tramps, hobos and bums. He certainly seems to have found his type."
"That's a **** misrepresentation" states colourful sometime-resident, Ashcan Pete. "Them tramps is nothin but trouble I tells yer." Asked whether he had received any charity from Father Michael's latest clothing drive, the erstwhile wanderer made a disparaging remark and shuffled away down the street, muttering that the last time he'd been to church, the good father had "lamped him one with a cross"
