Re-use exhaust gasket?

I have some pacesetter lt's w/new stock gm metal gaskets that i installed 3 months ago, i need to pull the driver side header to check for damage on the block, when i put the header back on can i re-use the one from the header install or do i have to buy a new one?

I've reused the stock ones several times over with no leaks.
