Going for the most probable (common) names:
#1 - Gymnocalycium baldianum
#2 - Polaskia chichipe
#3 - Oreocereus celsianus (or trollii)
#4 - Echinopsis oxygona
#5 - Haageocereus?
#6 - Mammillaria polythele inermis
#7 - maybe Cereus validus?
#8 - Mammillaria bombycina
#9 - Mammillaria elongata

May I see the whole #2, I'm in doubt it's a polaskia chichipe

Different angles on number 4 and 7 would be helpful too, they aren't the most distinctive looking species.
4 may be a different Echinopsis (perhaps one of those formerly known as Lobivia) rather than E. oxygona.

Yes, I'd agree the Echinopsis is something other than E. oxygona, and is one of the northern Lobivia species (or hybrid thereof).
5 is Espostoa senilis. The more bristly base is typical of the former Thrixanthocereus species.

OK, I think I have #5 (identified as E. blossefeldiorum a few years ago - so I should change to E. senilis?)

Yes, teo is correct, it is most likely a polaskia chichipe.

No, that looks correct to me - Espostoa blossfeldiorum is the other bristly-based one (aka Thrixanthocereus blossfeldiorum).

#8 is not M. bombycina, but I'm not sure what it is.
