Weekend Vendor · Pre-Grading Calls · Market Talk

Two heads.
One eye for the ones that grade.

Shiny Kiwi is a weekend vending table and a running breakdown of what's worth pre-grading — corners, centering, and market takes from a collector who reads slabs for fun.

Every card gets the loupe

Nothing hits the table without a corners-and-centering check first.

Weekend vending, real talk

Find me at local shows with sealed, singles, and slabs in hand.

DM to trade

Always open to a fair trade or a straight buy — reach out any time.

New calls weekly

Pre-grade verdicts and market takes posted on a regular schedule.

Free Tool

Measure your own centering.

Upload a scan or photo, drag two guide lines onto the card edge and the border, and get a live centering ratio — the same read PSA uses for Gem Mint 10. Built to work with a 1200 DPI scanner image for real precision, but a phone photo works too.

What Happens at the Table

From folding table to feed.

Everything Shiny Kiwi does traces back to a Saturday setup — the finds, the calls, and the trades all start in the same spot.

Vending Finds

Sealed product, singles, and slabs hand-picked at shows and laid out on the table.

Pre-Grade Verdicts

A close look at corners, centering, and surface — is it a PSA 10 shot or a keeper raw? Check centering yourself with the free tool.

Market Takes

Honest reads on what's heating up, what's cooling off, and what it means for your binder.

Trades & Deals

Open to fair trades and straight offers — DM with what you're holding.

Built by a Collector

Not a shop. A weekend habit that grew a following.

Shiny Kiwi runs on a simple loop: buy, sell, and trade at shows on the weekend, then share what was learned along the way — what graded well, what didn't, and what it's actually worth.

No warehouse, no storefront — just a table, a loupe, and a growing group of people who like talking cards as much as collecting them.

Don't miss the next drop.

New pre-grade calls, market takes, and vending updates land first on Instagram.
