>>Usually how many cels are used (and will be release to market) in a series?
Depends how detailed (flowing) it is, maybe around 30,000 an episode, maybe 100-300 backgrounds
very few are nice portrait type cels though
There's a little part in an old interview here with Mr. Noonchester
where he talks about the availablilty of "good" cels from a series

Also depends on the budget, there are lots of techniques to save
on production, here's a fun page that talks about that
