The last time I was at the house, they (wisely) had reprints tacked to the headboard.

Doesn’t exactly jive that a 10 year old in the 50’s would have cards that are close to 50 years old on their headboard.

My guess is that someone was sent out to buy some “old baseball cards” and overshot the mark.

Movie takes place in 1946. So, these are very good representation for the time period.

It actually takes place in 1940. Here is Ralphie's Little Orphan Annie decoder ring showing the year. He gets it in the mail during the movie.
