Well the middle one is Cereus spegazzinii - crested form
The first and last are Gymnocalycium - I think mihanovichii and stellatum respectively.

I suspect the first is G. damsii (aka G. anisitsii). Post an open flower for confirmation.

Gymnocalycium ragonesei for the last one?

Re: New Cactis to ID
Now nr. 3 has opened the flowers but my doubt is still if it's a Gymnocalycium ragonesei or a stellatum since the flowers are quite similar ? Anyone know the difference and can tell for sure wich it is ?
Personally I think it's more a ragonesei but I'll confide more on your advice.

Body and spines look more like G. ragonesei. Flowers are similar on both species. G. stellatum tends to have a red eye, but I think some forms don't. I think G. occultum has flowers without red. They both come under G. quehlianum now so I don't know if my characterisation of the flowers is correct.

#1 depends on the flower colour, if it's greenish mihanovichii, if it's pinkish damsii, it looks very mihanovichii to me though
