Do I take it that some of the FH's are DCAM's that look jet-black but others look regular gold ? Or is that the lighting in the picture ?
Yes and yes.
All the FHs are DCAM. The color of the fields in each pic depends on what they are reflecting.

It’s not a competition. Everyone’s collection and acquisitions are unique and reflect their own style. There is no right or wrong, better or worse.
Re: How do I remove the blemish on this Blanchard slab?
If that chemical has etched into the plastic there is little you can do.
I will tell you this: If it is you can easily make it worse by any attempt to repair.
Re: Tilted cards in PSA holders
Grades just popped today and here are a couple PSA pics of my tilted cards.
These are not tilted from shipping. These are PSA scanned straight after slabbing.
Pretty ridiculous.

Finally, I reacquired the only MS Jamaican 6S 8P which was included as part of a deal on one of the best coins I bought last year, the silver proof Chilean Condor.
I'd like to have a high-grade denomination set of the Jamaican countermarked pillars, but only the 5P is probably within my price range. Especially the AU 4R in the NGC census, though don't know what it looks like.
One of my goals for 2025 Peru with Jamaica countermarked 1 real. I think they exist for 1757 and 1758 I could be wrong?
I'm not aware of a host coin dated after 1758, though it could be any year prior to that. The two you list are the ones I have seen most often, and presumably the most common.

Consider using the app on your phone to check the NFC, PCGS has been using it for over 4 years now and it would give you a very fast picture of the actual coin that you would have recognized as not the coin in the holder, it really does work.

Not so well on all of the certs used with no images.

Looks like a child slabbed those in a totally dark room
