Default Hubcap cap/emblem issue

So here's the deal. I drive a silver '00 NB and I woke up this morning to see that someone has helped themselves to one of my hubcap emblems. I need to know a couple things - if I call a salvage yard, what's the proper term for that thing and do you think it would be an expensive replacement?

My poor Buggy has been through it all.

I would buy just the emblem alone on eBay. I have had really bad luck with my center cap emblems so I just keep a stock of emblems around and I put them on with a 2-part epoxy. So far, I've never lost one that's been put on with epoxy. I think I got four emblems on eBay for about $15.
