Ok by now you may already have an answer to your question about push marks. I thought I would go ahead and leave you one anyway for others to see also because I had the same problem when I started out. I couldn't find answers anywhere. Ok "Push Marks" are 3 small circles in a triangle on the label of an ORIGINAL SUN Record. This is one of the Main ways to know it's not a copy. The marks are just circle indentions in the label. I hope this helps. I'm still kinda new at this too I had to search all over the Net to get answers.
There are original Sun 45s without push marks so it could still be original without push marks. Any mention of Shelby Singleton on the label means its a reissue with little value. Perfect condition should mean shiny like a new penny, no visible marks, no writing on the label--unlikely for a record 54 years old. If you can post a picture, relist it with the picture and let the market decide what it's worth. An original will bring some $$$.
