Agreed that it is difficult to find the desired quality anymore. Unless you're willing to pay a hefty price, most commercially available ones are of very poor quality. The best board I ever played on was a lovely homemade one that just used some painted nails as pegs. It was great. I suppose it is kind of funny to care, considering that the board is literally a score board and the game could be played just as easily with pen and paper or tallying on your phone or what not, and yet, I absolutely do care, and I think most serious crib players do as well.
