I started doing some population studies on the relative rarity of the two a few years back, and one thing is for certain.............there were at least 100 yellow hangtags used for every red one during that time. Also, the yellow hangtag came in two sizes, 5" x 1 3/4" (folded) for use on smaller kits, and 6 3/8" x 2" for use on the larger ones. The red hangtag came only in the larger size (at least, I have never seen a small one, and I am confident that they never existed). I have never heard any reason why Estes used the red hangtag................it may just have been an error at the printing shop, and Vern may have decided to use them rather than waste them.
