Swiss Rock Band Branefive's QSL

Three months ago, there was a posting about a rock band releasing new music on shortwave (see story below), reception reports would be treated to the band's QSL.  My QSL just arrived in a sealed envelope from Switzerland.  I heard the release of the new music via a WMRI relay.  Could you imagine what similar QSL cards would be worth had The Beatles done likewise?  I'm guessing someone on the HFU board knows of another rock band that sent out QSL's on their own accord and not tied to a radio station promotion.
