[K3PZN-List] Interesting QSL = My Bad

Processing my buro QSLs, found a colorful one from a little DXpedition to a beautiful island in Croatia.  But not in my log, what gives?  

Okay it was Armed Services Day cross-band in the US.  While I though I always checked my transmit frequency for activity, perhaps I was waiting in line to work the US military station.  Well it looks like the operator in Croatia thought I made a QSO, although hard to believe my exchange with the Army station was a mere 59.  So proof that I was the lid.  Who knows maybe the sent me the QSL in annoyance to QRM, but I tend to doubt it for maybe a rare Iota.  Shall I mark the QSL with a post-it of my folly?  No I don't plan to apply for an Islands of the Air award - so I will stick it in the box.
Okay the era of paper QSLs is almost over except for the Buro.  I do find I have enough of them, but since I only get maybe a hundred a year via the buro I will continue the tradition, at least until I run out which will be a while.  

Anyone do something with their most treasured QSLs other than stick them in a box like I do?
