Fast Draw turned out to be my all-time grail pin, but when I got it 30+ years ago I didn't know it yet. I know it's unlikely I'll ever find an EM I never get tired of playing all day long like FD but I could go for a Joker Poker or Royal Flush/Card Whiz. Or find another Flip A Card or Jacks Open to replace the ones I sold like an idiot. I don't like to think too much about the great ones I let go. The ones where you say "I'm never gonna sell this pin!" but somehow or other you did.

Quoted from paulace:

frenchmarky - I have a Card Whiz right next to my Quick Draw...and I love them both! It would be hard to pick a favorite - if you find one, pick it up - you'll be glad.

When I bought FD it was just another pin in the back of my pickup truck to me, I remembered playing it in arcades and thought it would only be decent or so-so in the house, being that it wasn't even a single player like the EMs I had bought a lot of. Never dreamed it would be my all time fave. One can have a grail pin but you probably haven't played it that much in the past or even at all, so you're not really sure it's going to be a keeper for a loooong time. I've never played Joker Poker but it gets bragged up a lot and it looks like a great layout so I'm just going by that, for all I know if I had one it wouldn't knock my socks off. I learned that maybe it's better to discover that any ol' game you just bought is the grail pin.
