They're originals, not photocopies. ç›´ç† isn't really ambiguious (though it may be in automatic translations). It means something like "one's own handwriting." So, a person drew them, not a machine.
æžš is the counter for paper and other thin, flat objects. In Japanese, numbers must be followed by counters . . . and there are quite a few counters out there.
Auction title reads:
"Elemental Grade Handwritten Genga 85 sheets (Ren Episode 1)"
Auction description reads:
"Elemental Grade, about 85 sheets of genga (layouts and rough genga from the valueable* climax of the first episode). The genga are good but there are some that have been roughly drawn, so carefully examine the pictures before bidding."
I'm not translating the rest 'cuz it's normal Japanese auction mumbo-jumbo.
Sensei's right, though. Your translator must have gotten "copies" from æžš. That's why I always translate æžš as "sheets" when dealing with production artwork. In normal translation, however, "copies" would sound a lot better most of the time.
*If I were writing this in English, I'd probably say "important" rather than "valueable." That's a bit of a cultural difference in speech, I imagine.
