Q: Does AppleCare still have Tiger discs?

No.  Try eBay, CraigsList, or search Google.  Be sure you only purchase a retail package.  You can call AppleCare Customer Service to inquire as to availability of Leopard discs, however.  They may still be available for order.

Tiger install DVDs are in short supply. Tiger is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available for $129 by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753). For other sources, do a Google search for MA453Z/A (10.4.6), MA190Z/A (10.4.3) and M9639Z/A (10.4). Also look on eBay. Be sure & buy a retail version (black with silver X) and not a model specific version (gray) See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1976068 Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?.

Possible Alternative if you are currently using Panther 10.3 – Do a Google search for Tiger 10.4 Upgrade DVD . It will upgrade your 10.3 to 10.4, but it doesn’t contain the full retail Tiger installer. Should be cheaper than the retail Tiger install DVD.

After you install the base 10.4.x, update to the final Tiger version 10.4.11. Here's the link for the 10.4.11 combo update http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24901?viewlocale=en_US

When you upgrade the OS, do it via Archive & Install. See About the Archive and Install feature http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1710

Be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings. Also, repair permissions before and after the install.

There appears to be 5 new, 11 used on Amazon from $71.00 to $247.60, appear to be the original retail dvd's, guess you have to check with the seller.

I'm hearing they're still available at Apple Phone Sales, 1-800-692-7753. Ask for a Product Specialist. They're even supposed to have some 10.3!
