But there are some that again, that don't say anything. I ordered a Roger Maris reprint that I'm still expecting in the mail, to see if I can compare some of the cards I have questions about to it.

If those are foil stamped, they're probably original cards that were stamped to put in Topps Heritage as Insert cards. They are original 1959 cards, but were in packs recently.
They look like this:
