This was the lil guy that started my interest in cacti, any idea what species it could be? It is labeled Notocactus sp. (Parodia)

Thanks! Here is a clearer picture if that may help make the ID certain? I've always wanted a Mammillaria

I have one of the second one which was IDed by a nursery as mammillaria backbergianna (probably spelled that wrong). However I have not yet verified that ID. Something to look into, though.
