Hello Jerko,
welcome to the cactus and succulent forums. Already the few cacti from your collection that you posted are excellent specimens.
With 500 to 600 plants, you must have some nice greenhouse to keep them going.
It is also nice to have someone as young as you are joining the cactiguide forums. My own three children I could not ever fascinate with my plants. How is the membership in your club? Are you the youngest member? At 59 years of age I am on of the "young ones" of my club. Whenever young people join, they stay usually only until they graduate from highschool. Then they move to another place (city). Also, overall, it is not easy to interest young people in growing plants, especially those that most folks do know almost nothing about or believe that they are not pretty.

Hey Jerko! Welcome to the forums! 
WOW!!! So young with so many plants, Lucky You!
I'm sure there are a couple of 13/14 year olds on this forum.
Oh, and by the way, nice flowers! I have to say, you're a talented grower to grow such nice plants at such a young age.
