'An Afternoon In The Garden' re-entered the Billboard 200 this week - at #177 - with 3,087 copies sold.
(i) As of (late) October last year, the album had scanned a total of 194,552 units.
(ii) A total of 306,183 units had been scanned in the US, as of last Sunday.
--> Consequently, An Afternoon In The Garden sold/scanned approximately 112,000 copies in the past 9 months.
To date, the album has spent 20 weeks on the Catalogue chart and 14 weeks on the Billboard 200. An Afternoon In The Garden is - with quite a margin - the best-selling Elvis album in 2011. Its chart performance and sales are - actually - better than the all the "new" Sony mainstream Elvis releases from the past ~3 years (including Viva Elvis & Elvis 75).
Here is a short summary of how the album has performed on the US charts, since its - quite unexpected - appearance earlier this spring:

This has always been my favourite officially released 'live' Elvis album. If it keeps up the trend of re-entering the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart then hopefully it will not be long before we see a new Gold record for The King.
