Is there any type of database or reference that has been gathered to indicate relative production runs or rarity of specific models and colorways of yoyos? ---

You can always post in a thread relative to the specific yo-yo, and someone on the forum will probably know. But, unless the yo-yo was custom anodized/modified, I believe the best source is the yo-yo manufacturer. That is usually the most credible source of information. Most of them have a website, Facebook, or other means of email contact. You can Google to find them. ---

If you google the yoyos name and Colourway you can typically find the answers you’re looking for. I’ve done it a few times and it usually pulls up an old YYE thread about it. Works like a charm.
