Powershell: Format-Table and Out-Gridview -> Data format not supported?

Hi. Trying to review the local machine's Windows certificates in an Out-GridView format, so I can review data signatures, nullability, frequency, etc.

This script yields too little:

Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.PSISContainer -eq $false} | Out-GridView

This script:

Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.PSISContainer -eq $false} | Format-Table -Property * | Out-GridView

errors out with "The data format is not supported by Out-GridView."

I thought this was a .NET "ToString()" issue, but even this script:

Get-ChildItem -Path Cert:\LocalMachine -Recurse | Where-Object {$_.PSISContainer -eq $false} | Format-Table -Property "Subject" | Out-GridView

errors out with the same "The data format is not supported by Out-GridView."
