Ok, found someone on reddit who is reaally into American Pickers to ask about discrepancies between releases in DVDs. He said there was an infamous incident where American Pickers Collection 8 was originally released with 13 episodes, but it only hit a few stores before being taken off shelves and rereleased sometime later with only 12 episodes. The original releases that were out in the public became hot commodities in the fandom.
The guy I talked to had a copy for years but sold it in 2021. He kinda dodged the question when I asked why he would sell it, but just said "it was better that I didn't own it." He didn't have any kind of digital copy which would've been great, but I did find his original listing online. He didn't want to sell on ebay because apparently one collector would buy any of them listed there.
