I collect the track cards like this one, and I usually pay $5-8 for cards in similar condition. But they seem to be all over the board price-wise.

He is one of the first Jewish track and field athletes on a card. He won an Olympic way back when (I forget which one). I'd not be surprised if the card heats up a bit.

The T218's, like other vintage issues, have a range of dimensions that they come in. Looking at the borders of this (which is tough to distinguish from the background on the scan), this definitely would fall at the small end of the size scale. I have T218's that have twice the amount of left/right border (which is the aspect of this card that raises the yellow caution flag). But I also have ones that imitate this one. The seller claims that two of the corners are rounded, so, look on the bright side--at most only one of the side borders is trimmed.
