I tried to take a look at everyones nails, but only go through the front paws on both, should I be worried, this is what I found (three angles). These were the clearest pics I could find.

That's perfectly normal to shed their old claws.

I remember finding one of Rosie's for the first time when she was young and it's taped to one of her pictures to go with the first whisker she lost

It's the claw sheath, not the actual claw. Cats shed these constantly so that their claws stay nice and sharp
I'm surprised you've only found one - I find them all over the place!
