That has happened to me a couple times.

How abou this for the "way back machine".  I was looking at some old NCJs 
from the early 1980s that I had been given.

Back then there were ham services where you sent your paper log to a guy 
across the country.  He computerized your log, marked your DUPE QSOs and 
scored your log.

This all happened days, if not weeks, after the contest ended....
