There are only 12 of these boxes in existence . They were produced for Marvin Shankens Night to Remember auction and dinner held the 11th of April 2000. They are referred to as the Mitch Miller edition. Each box has 10 A's and the boxes are autographed by the Padron Family and Folk Singer Mitch Miller.

Here is a link to some photos.

Mitchell William "Mitch" Miller (July 4, 1911 – July 31, 2010)[1][2] was an American oboist, conductor, recording producer and recording industry executive. He was involved in almost all aspects of the industry, particularly as a conductor, and A&R (artist and repertoire) man. Miller was one of the most influential people in American popular music during the 1950s and early 1960s, both as the head of A&R at Columbia Records and as a best-selling recording artist with an NBC television series, Sing Along with Mitch. A graduate of the Eastman School of Music of the University of Rochester in the early 1930s, Miller began his musical career as an accomplished player of the oboe and English horn, making numerous highly regarded classical and popular recordings, but he is best remembered as a choral conductor on television and as a recordings executive.

Yeah, I would not have called him a folk singer. Very mainstream.

TTT

PMS. That's to your phone of course. LOL

TTT- any interest?? Make me an offer......

The Mitch Miller Fan Club is pushing 80+ so you better find a trade quick. He died at 99 in 2010 and he has no younger legacy following like old jazz or blues artists do. Mitch Miller was Mr. Anti - Rock and Roll. If you were a sock hopper in the 50's, your parents were fans of Mitch Miller. He was even too square for Tony Bennett. I collect records and sadly his stuff gluts the discount bins at the thrift stores with few takers. But he did like cigars, had a cool beard and was a contemporary of Jose Padron and they both signed it. Pretty cool. I may have a simmering mild interest.....but be forewarned I would ruin the collectability by smokin them - I would smoke them with the cigar smokers I know alive that would remember Mitch Miller, that makes a total of 2. And if I can find an old guy who loved Mitch Miller, I'll give him the box to keep his teeth in. Spread the joy of the item before it's collectability passes out of memory and into oblivion. Rare? yes. Museum piece? No. Let me think about it and I will pm you if I have something worthwhile to offer in trade.

Mitch Miller may have been a bizarre pivotal figure in the evolution of rock and roll..................and that point is best said in the following.

In truth, rock and roll was a direct reaction to Miller and the kind of bland music he championed. Miller once said, "In three seconds I can tell a talent." But his undimmed ardor for sticky pop music to boost revenue at Columbia Records alienated kids just as they were gaining access to portable phonographs. While much praise has been bestowed on Miller for having an unrivaled mainstream ear and golden mass-market gut, his Sherman-like crusade in the 1950s on behalf of banality always seemed odd considering his formal musical training and performance work on earlier great jazz recordings. Many of Miller's decisions fostered lazy listening habits and inadvertently helped doom jazz's chances for greater acceptance. Between 1950 and 1955, Miller's music choices as the all-powerful head of Columbia Records A&R department drove teens to regional r&b and eventually rock and roll. Many of the records Miller produced were alien to growing numbers of young people who were culturally allergic to the calendar images Miller set to music. To them, much of what Miller produced lacked feeling, sexuality or vitality. Teens were openly rebelling against Mitch Miller and the music he produced. Miller never quite forgave rock and its ability to skirt the system and pull the rug out from under him. Said Miller in 1996 about rock: "I can't get interested in people who can only sing songs with three chords in them." From "Mitch Miller - Jazz Friend or Foe?"

Thanks Bro- just tryin to trade a box of cigars ....
