Does life exist after the Registry?

Question:
Now that the Registry(s) has breathed new life into the hobby, what's next?
Sets are being assembled removing many great coins from the market, some of the finest, forcing collectors to assemble sets with grades below what they may have purchased because of availability. With that said, it is/will become more difficult to collect nicer/higher grade coins unless these coins are put back into the market.
As a collector, I normally do not sell my coins. There have been a couple of instances were I've sold or traded a coin over the years when one came available and I just couldn't wait. I'm wondering whether it might be healthy for the hobby to release some of the coins back into the market to allow others to enjoy them too. I've noticed some have, and are, doing this.
But then what?
Collect stamps? Never!!!!!!!!!!!!

In the case of Kennedy Half Proof coins, a number of highest graded coins are numbered from 1-7
extent examples. These limited number are all impounded in collections for the forseable future.
That limits the rest of us folks to lower graded coins untill the higher collections are
placed on the open market.What do we do in the meantime, perhaps we can go back
to collecting pogs. Regards Bear

I started collecting bobbleheads the Cincinnati Reds are giving away. Even some Adam Dunn bobbles from the minor league teams. Have them all now. Have to wait for next season to see who's next.
Don't laugh too hard. I know, I should be taken out and beaten. A coin collector with bobbleheads.
