I called Apple and got a sorry can?t help answer when I wanted to find a source to get replacement CDs It's not really an issue as far as Apple is concered. The next release RETAIL disks would cover ALL Macs that ran it to date, and has done so as long as there have been Macs. The one exception is the few number of Macs that ran Tiger (10.4) but did not read DVDs. As we have discussed before, you had to trade in your DVD for CDs. AFAIK there were never any 10.4 retail disks for the early Intel Macintosh computers, but they all ran 10.5, and the 10.5 retail disk was for both Intel and PPC. So if you lost, broke, or never got them in the first place (with a used computer for example), you were supposed to buy a retail disk. I understand that if you live in a country that has an Apple store, you can go to a Genius Bar and they would have the disks, (I don't), but may not have them all. About the time the Genius Bars started to crop up dealers were getting rid of their old disks, and several people I know, including myself, were able to get some intersting old disks for pennies.
