Arkham Horror
What happens if an encounter tells you to obtain a special item that has already been taken or is no longer in the deck?
The rulebook's rules on named cards and discarding special cards settle this, and forum replies agree.

You gain nothing, since the card is no longer in the special cards pile. A special item returns to its deck only when it is discarded, and then it can be obtained again.
