Matthew, I have most of the numbers - I've just lost the support for them, so you'd have to take them on faith or spend hours like I did plowing through those sites I gave you.

I also encountered differences between icv2, Comichron and one other source I once found but can't locate again.  Some of the differences were a result of rounding (one source rounded everything to the nearest hundred), but some differences were greater.  I'd recommend you contact long-time CBG guy John Jackson Miller through the Comichron site and see if he can help.  He's a real comics data enthusiast and I'm guessing he'd love to talk to another numbers-cruncher.

Following is what I have of what you requested (I also included the only pre-reboot/Comicraft MMW numbers I was able to find).  These numbers were all mined several years ago, and then I lost enthusiasm for the project and lost much of the source material as well.  I'm not very mistake-prone, but given I recorded several hundred Archives and Masterworks numbers, mistakes are still a possibility (with me, and probably also with the sources).

A little tidbit about the high sales of the Comicraft FF 6:  Tom Brevoort was all over the internet back in 2000 saying he needed to hit 4K minimum (but hopefully 5K+) in pre-orders to ensure further volumes, so many of us pre-ordered and over-ordered to give the program a push.  We couldn't maintain enthusiasm, however, and pre-sales dropped sharply thereafter.  A little over a year later, the program went back on hiatus.

For what it's worth:

Thanks for the list, Karl! I plugged through the Comichron site last night and here are the numbers I pulled. In some cases they match your list perfectly. In other cases they look to be slightly more refined (e.g. Batman Volume 5 - 3,100 copies becomes 3,133 copies).
