Display them. 98 black; big deal! copper & green I can buy those any time. Maybe in 10-20 yrs they'll be  collectable.

I'd display them but leave the boxes intact if you have the space.

If you don't cook on them, they become figurines. Just like the ones in Grandmother's display cabinet. Kettles are made to cook.

I'd hate myself if suddenly Uline stopped selling them and then I couldn't source one.

I vote for opening and displaying!  What's the point in having them if you can't enjoy them??

@Lemans , are you for real ??  Get a boxcutter and bust 'em open. 
I'm not really into collecting SJs, but these just sorta fell into my lap.  Never been used …. Just like looking at them.

On a shelf in my garage.

So many Kettles so little time!

Look at it this way.  Do you want to look at a cardboard box, or do you want to look at a grill?

No-one ever said "I wish I had never played with my Weber kettles" on their death bed.

Open them up and use them! Setup a rotation.

I am also not into collecting SJs, I just happen to have few.  I tried this till my wife got pissed and almost threw them out.   

Display in my garage shelf might be the best bet.  Thanks for the idea.
