So I don't think this particular suggestion applies to you, but because it is one of the common endgames for collecting, I'll share it.
Many collectors end up shopkeeps as a retirement hobby.
There's a million caveats here -- you need to live somewhere that has enough people to visit your shop, you need to be financially secure enough to sink some money into renting a storefront, you need to be able to spend time in your shop on a regular basis, and you shouldn't expect your shop to actually make money.
But if you like collecting more than having a shop gives you a space and an excuse to putter around with your collection, repairing, maintaining, and displaying it while selling and occasionally buying new pieces. There are any number of antique shops or used bookstores that started from someone who retired with a large collection.
