I think you will find the Stimorol set you are after is 1988/89 -there was no set made in 1987/88. Stimorol did sets in 88/89 (orange/green), 89/90 (gold and blue cards) and 90/91 (red).
No doubt it is best to buy it complete - 144 cards is a tough base set to pull together.
You should be able to get a set of Scanlens 88/89 for around the $70-80 mark i would think. Definitely under $100 if you are a little patient. It is an unusually large set - almost all of the Scanlens cricket sets were of only 66 or 84, so this one does not appear as often as a full set as the others.
thanks Mambo, exactly what color are the cards you are looking for, if it is orange and blue i have #60 lawson, i also have a 1997 sportsdeck superstar steve waugh if you are interested?

if u still need that #144 pm or reply, think i have that one.I also have
7,24,34,39,40,51,61,67,82,87,97,101,103,108,109,110,121,124,131, there all
in great condition except 103 (slight crease).
Clashes for the Ashes about $60-$70 in good condition. Maybe a bit more if some demand. I have a note of a full set selling for $65 on ebay about 12 months ago.
I'm missing #70 of 1988 Scanlens if you come accross it.
