Except when they don't. 
In our last game, there was either a Mythos or Encounter (pretty sure it was a Mythos?) card that had some specfic monster trophies jump up and try to kill us.

Schrödinger's Trophy. It's both an anecdote and physical evidence, until the manner by which it is spent collapses its waveform.
"Ashcan" Pete will take that off your hands when you're done with it.
Charlie Kane would befriend a strangled cat if given the chance.
Finn Edwards has very deep pockets.
Hank Samson does not care that you've mastered time travel.
Lily Chen can punch a hue.
Lola Hayes is the world's best Egyptologist.
Mark Harrigan is very good at hedge mazes.
Michael McGlen has never experienced an earthquake.
Minh Thi Phan makes group hugs empowering.
Patrice Hathaway plays songs you can't get out of your head.
Tommy Muldoon is most qualified to be deputy, yet for some reason nobody want him to be.
Tony Morgan sells meat out of the back of his van.
Ursula Downs can shop at an empty store.
Wendy Adams always wins at hide and seek.
William Yorick has a Bachelor's in Cryptozoology—no wonder he can't find work.
Wilson Richards will paint over anything for a dollar.
Zoey Samaras can torch a fire vampire.
I believe a trophy or a clue doesn't exist and doesn't have a purpose, until it is spent. Only then does it acquire a purpose and form.
edit: reading the last few posts, it seems a lot of you imagine it this way too :P I guess it's because it really is hard to imagine trophies as big sacks of meat and bones :P

Exactly! "4th of July parade" followed by "Icy Conditions", anyone?

I think I will settle for a combination of abstract things like information, fame etc. and real things like claws, teeth, and documents. This would probably satisfy my needs to explain things. This is btw the way I have always thought about clues, how I could fail to make the connection to trophies is a mystery.
But it is still quite amusing (not realistic) to think of monster trophies as the monsters themselves. Imagine someone trying to sneak past a patrol while draging the carcasses of two starspawns and a dhole behind him. 
Plans are what people make instead of thinking
Maybe you just hide the corpses. And then you give the Science Building people some infos on how to rescue them, so that they can go and dissect them there. Or you give Ma some Chthonian steaks for some help. Dunno. Still not much realistic (Q: "where's the Dhole?" A: "I kicked it in my cellar" ::shock::), but, as Tbla said, the idea is a lot of fun

I'm imagining a "Weekend at Bernie's" situation. This horrifies me.
Mostly because I can't believe I ever sw that awful movie.

After today's examination, I feel as though I'm no longer qualified to make Quantum Mechanics jokes.

Too bad, those are the best jokes. I told my girlfriend one on our first date, It's a wonder we're still together after 7 years.
