Here is a little bit of the back story of my collection.

F.F. Baker was born Fredrick Frank Baker on January 25th, 1903 and died November 1973 in Richmond, Virginia. He lived in the Richmond area his entire life. He and his family lived at 1318 Mosby. His father owned grocery store at the same location and there is a residence above the store. My theory is that F.F. had easy access to the cards from customers or dad saved them either from smoking or customers. Most stamps are Piedmont but I have backs from Old Mill, American Beauty and a few others. My collection stands at 40+ and always looking to add. If you Google Earth you can see the old building still stands on the corner of Mosby.
