from man tcpdump:

[snip]

If the snapshot was small enough that tcpdump didn't cap-
ture the full TCP header, it interprets as much of the
header as it can and then reports `[|tcp]'' to indicate
the remainder could not be interpreted. [snip]

Use '-s 1518' to capture the whole packet, or '-s 128' or whatever to
capture as much as needed.
