Sadly this forum is not very active, with the most traffic relating to specific collecting requirements. I'm not even sure that your being more specific about the collections would generate much in the way of responses.

There is a good market for postcards more than a century old, far less for modern cards. "Postal memorabilia"is a very wide-ranging term, suggesting interesting covers (not modern first-day covers).

The fact that your husband was "a serious philatelist" suggests that his collection may be more sellable than many of the stamp collections that are forlornly offered to dealers.

If you have little knowledge about the material, you could take the postcards to one of the events listed elsewhere on this website and seek several opinions and, perhaps, offers to buy. Though some card dealers also trade in stamps, you may have to take the memorabilia to a fair specifically for philatelists. It may be that a local philatelic society could also advise.
