I have an original Windows 8 cd set, one 32 bit and one 64 bit in the original sleeve. It is not marked as home or pro anywhere even on the cd itself. Is there a safe site (MS) where I could put in the key and find out what it is.

There are 3 editions of Windows 8 that will run on a PC.
Windows 8
Windows 8 Pro
Windows 8 Enterprise

Unless explicitly marked as a Pro or Enterprise edition it will be Windows 8. This is the basic or home edition.

This excellent tool here,

Showkey - Windows 10 Forums

Has a feature to check product keys and tell you what they are for.

I just tried it on my old W8 Pro key and it correctly identified it.
